It probably depends on where you work and how much leeway you’re given to actually help the customers. If you’re just there to take abuse, then, no, not so fun.
Why should nighthawks be the only one to torture people with puzzles ?

Oh, well, I’ll ask for clemency if I’m allowed to say anything….

Each of the numbers in the sequence below represents a letter. Use the mathematical clues to determine which number stands for which letter and reveal the encrypted word.
All the letters in alphabetical order (including varialbles) are:
A C D E N U X The numbers to be solved to letters are:
1 2 3 5 9
The encrypted word numbers in sequence are:
5 3 2 5 9 6 1
The equations offered as clues to solve the puzzle are:
2 × N = X
C + D = X
2 × A + 2 × U = X
3 × A + D + U = X
A + D + U = E
E = 6
The answers are:
The letters decode as: A = 2 — C = 9 — D = 1 — N = 5 — U = 3 — X = 10

Thanks, Susan, for pointing that out to me. 🙂

But Wikipedia has approximately a zillion in this page… People are always adding to it, of course, like everything on Wikipedia, so I’ve never seen another list so comprehensive:
Penne with grooves is called penne rigate. Had some gemelli the other night that I mistook for fusilli. Wish we had not eaten it all so I could go back and look for the double strands.
Tolkien’s very first vision for Mordor was that the dark lord Sauron was supposed to be the Prince of Cats, and he was also intended to take the form of a cat. Si or Am would make a good Sauron.

You can’t have too many cats ~ especially if they are like this gang. And a good time was had by all. Love this!!
Of course you can have too many cats. I like to eat beef, pork, lamb and salmon to name a few. After awhile, all cats taste the same, I don’t care how many different spices you use.
They tend to make me sneeze. For awhile, I couldn’t even visit my sister, just when she reeeallly needed her big brother around. So I have a bit of a thing against cats.
NO!!
It’s right behind that swarm of bees next to the elk and giraffe. Snerks
OKAY! Thanks. Now I see it !!
Puzzles are always fun. Especially when I can find the little darlings.

That’s funny!
Ha Ha!!

I saw that story someplace ( fb? ) and they showed the whole headstone and the story of the fudge recipe.
There’s a fair bit to the…

Talk about tuggin’ at the ol’ heart strings……
Been there, done that, know all too well!! You can’t please anyone!!
Am I the only person in the world who loves working customer service?

I like the Police and this song is catchy, but–it is a really AWFUL stalker song!

Thanks, Susan, for pointing that out to me. 🙂
The encrypted word is — “NUANCED”
mission accomplished!—that WAS torture 😉
Confusing at first because it wasn’t clear to me that by “the encrypted word numbers in sequence are…” you meant “the encrypted word is….”
Afterward I used the rest of the clues to check my answer .
First clue, fill in the E, cos 6=E.
5 3 2 5 9 E 1
The other clue: A + D + U =6
That’s only possible with 1+2+3… and of those, only D is likely to be at the end of the word… so we try that.
5 (A or U) (A or U) 5 9 ED.
Either N or C has to be 5, which is repeated. The other is 9.
By then the answer was obvious to me… But just to show my work…
It’s not going to be CAUCNED…. Try NAUNCED… ah… NUANCED. Bingo.
5=N, 3=U, 2=A, 5=N again, 9=C, 6=E, 1=D.
N-U-A-N-C-E-D
X isn’t in the word. But all the other little equations work if X=10.
Done and checked.
Um… I think it’s just…
I’ll delete this later, if I’m right and you correct it.

You can’t hold it on your hand like a book…..
But Wikipedia has approximately a zillion in this page… People are always adding to it, of course, like everything on Wikipedia, so I’ve never seen another list so comprehensive:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pasta
Yet I’m still looking for the name of one I used to buy, but it disappeared, and I can’t remember what it was called.
It looked just like tiny, coiled CFL light bulbs.
CaFLetti?
Well, I like your name for it better…
But I think I found it…
It’s called trottole.
Doesn’t sound familiar, so I’m not sure it was correctly labelled where I used to buy it…
but this is definitely what it looked like… except I think maybe mine had one more coil.
Good for light pasta dishes?
Oh… and Orzo and everything else is listed on that Wikipedia page.
There’s a whole section for soup pasta and other small varieties.
That’s gemelli in the bottom bowl in Nighthawks’ post.
Yes, they do look like CFL bulbs.
Based on what?
I’ll take my coat…
Those look like they could hold some sauce!
Penne with grooves is called penne rigate. Had some gemelli the other night that I mistook for fusilli. Wish we had not eaten it all so I could go back and look for the double strands.
Also, the list needs orzo! Like large rice.

Of course you can have too many cats. I like to eat beef, pork, lamb and salmon to name a few. After awhile, all cats taste the same, I don’t care how many different spices you use.
{^¿^}
I didn’t even have to read the name to know this was your post. Have you tried pumpkin spice??….. and stay out of my neighborhood.
Too much cats! Too many sneezers…
Good morning Cleo Phans!
Have a great Sunday… (((((HuGz!)))))
I’m in favor of 1 or 2 cats at a time. My lap isn’t big enough for more.
They tend to make me sneeze. For awhile, I couldn’t even visit my sister, just when she reeeallly needed her big brother around. So I have a bit of a thing against cats.
I am allergic to some cats and some dogs, but thankfully not all.
I was allergic to cats from an early age. My wife grew up with cats. So we didn’t get cats till about 15 years ago. Now she is allergic and I am not.
I always love that multi-cartoon-cats picture!
Well, except for, you know, all Nighthawks’ favorite things like the headless dead mouse, and other kitty atrocities.
