    My wife has been on one of those word games & has come up with two words that fit.

    I will leave it a bit longer in case anyone solves the mystery without help!

    Burtation is actually a word, but only in the Urban Dictionary...

    burtation
    When someone starts speaking then descends into gibberish.


    Could apply to one or two on here.

    I think I have it now though...

    BARBARIAN

    The other word Stroller was Barbadian.

    The words I had in mind were Aberration and Barbarian. If the other offerings fit and are actual words then that is acceptable too, but as Stroller is the first to post the two words he has the honour. Sorry Tel, great effort though by Mrs TelB.

    Sorry stroller, I was referring to my post that mentioned two words that fitted, with Bardanian being the alternative to Barbarian.

    I didn't mean that anything was wrong with your answer.

    Take it away!

    Looks like one I've been to, although I could be wrong.
    Colorado Springs?

    That's right mate, Garden Of The Gods.

    Did you go to the top of Pike's Peak?

    No, was on a driving tour with wife's brother and his reluctant other half; 'not more rocks and trees!' was her favourite comment on that memorable trip....

    Shame, it's worthwhile - there's a cog railway that takes you up there. We were sitting outside a bar in pleasant warm weather before taking the railway to the peak, where there was a blizzard!

    Sounds amazing, I do intend to go back in the near future.

    Take these digits:

    1,2,3,4,5,6,7,

    and arrange them in a simple sum that will add up to 100.

    5x6x3+1+4+7-2 = 100.

    Very good try CaH, but addition only, must add up to 100

    1 + 2 +34 + 56 + 7 = 100
    seems to be the only way?
    Is this correct?

    Spot on, also 15+36+47+2=100.
    Your first attempt was ingenious using the single digits, well done
