Re: The Balance!

I can think of a few possibilities, but the most prominent one is... heated?

Re: The Balance!

That's actually a viable answer but the word for #73 I was looking for was tenuous.

Re: The Balance!

You know, these double-definitions are one type of clue they use in "cryptic crosswords," which are what the British have instead of crossword puzzles.  One difference is that the British aren't so nice as to tell you explicitly where one definition ends and the next begins; they just phrase the whole in the form of a sentence.  It looks like this.

#74
The river's shore is a financial institution.

Re: The Balance!

#74 is bank.

Do you mean like this?

#75 Professional jargon allowed for audience ease.

Re: The Balance!

Three months is too long for this thread to be silent! Tamago, we give up.

Now I'm continuing this with an easy one.

#76 - Copulation! Intercourse!
The girl who took us all by force!
A clown who'll kill us all for fun!
And the last touched child, on the run.

Re: The Balance!

A year later, I'm still wondering about #76...

Re: The Balance!

#77 sentence?

I'm not sure, I have never been good at this type of games. I'll leave #78 open in case I get the answer.

Oh dag, I bet you're right!!  Very clever!

#78, I would think, is turtle emot-smile

#79
They vanish from trees till the winter's all over;
What a robin in Canada does each October.

#80

What Rhett did in Gone with the Wind's final scene.

Haha, not quite, but darn close: #79 was leaves, while #80 was left.  I enjoyed that two conjugations of the same verb had two unrelated other meanings!

Who's next? emot-smile

Re: The Balance!

#83 is game!

But we skipped a number emot-wink

#82
Examples would be Grim Dawn or Oblivion;
An anti-tank weapon shot by... um... a Bolivian.

#84
Stuff prepared by a flour mill's denizen;
Tasty mutton, chevon, or venison.

12/26/14 For posterity: #82 = RPG; #84 = meal
