A fun intermediary question to pass the time

This is a rehash of an older question

When I first stated I was 18436572 then I went to 18726543, my cousin started at 15426378 then went to 13726548, and a third cousin of mine has stayed at 18436572. What am I and who are my cousins?

enjoy

OK. Argentum's clue was the firing order of some sort of V-8 engine.

 

[JamesU]

wasn't that one already done?

 

[brewnog]

wasn't that one already done?

Yeah, he said it was a re-hashed pearoast.

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

OK. Argentum's clue was the firing order of some sort of V-8 engine.

You are on the right track.

wasn't that one already done?

Yes like I said it was for kicks and giggles while we hashed on brewnog's question. I'm on my lunch break so I'll have an actual question later tonight, just need to cheeck some facts, obfuscate, and google proof it.

 

[wolram]

obfuscate
Thats tricky, be careful

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

I'm off work so here is my clue for this fun and exciting game...

I was painted with a dope.

Have fun.

Silicon semiconductor?

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

You think I'd make it that easy? IOW nope. It dose fall inbetween the discovery of the semiconductor and it's mass production.

 

[brewnog]

Urrm, a ruby rod for a diode laser?

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

nope and think along other lines, If you want in a bit I'll float another clue

[Danger]

Yeah, I imagine that a guy like you must have gotten passed around a lot as an embryo. Which one got stuck with giving birth?

 

[honestrosewater]

Is anyone around??


I need someone to entertain me! Entertain me!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

This is why I keep pushing to keep two questions running. This helps to keep the thread active.

I think Moonbear is due a question.

 

[Danger]

I need someone to entertain me! Entertain me!

Yes, Audrey...

 

[Argentum Vulpes]

Sorry for taking so long to respond.
