So close! But you've got one line wrong. Which one, where, and how many letters it represents is something to tease you further.

As I'm going away for a while due to an ex-member of this board giving me grief, the answer is
ANATOMICAL.

1. A penguin rolling down a piste.
2. A penguin after pushing the first one. (see the relationship there?)
BONUS: A newspaper (á la Cristin) or a pamphlet in a waiting room.

Ooooh! What do I win? What do I win?
*gets nudged by Yoda*
Sorry. Next riddle, I suppose.
Each of the following gives a word when answered correctly. You score a point for each correct, but you get five bonus points if you can rearrange the initial letters of the answers to form a bonus word. Who can get the highest score?
1. Which word can mean to halt and sounds like art?
2. Name a three dimensional uniformly pinched oval.
3. Name a part of a brain that can be used in cybernetics easily.
4. This was used to clean wounds according to old women.
5. Where Egypt and Greece collide?
6. Three of Seven.

Sadly not. But nice try, though.
I think I may need to give a hint or two:
1. The spellings may not always match.
2. Simple geometry!
3. Latin medical naming conventions may help here...
4. A Simpson's episode springs to mind, or ask your grandma.
5. Collisions are not always physical...
6. Ok, I fluffed that one. Try "Three of Nine".

Okay, I'll post a new riddle! QUOTE I am a set of three words, all with the same six letters.
First I am a kingdom, though not royally so.
Then spell me backwards, and I become a thin plate.
Now rearrange my consonants, leaving my vowels in place ...
I am now a type of paper.
What are the words?

here we go: animal lamina manila handy having a thesaurus shoved in my mind for the "plate" bit after I completely blanked animal kingdom the first time  new riddle: My first is within, both near and far, My second is central, found in a car, My third is no vowel, the beginning of end, My fourth is the last, an afternoon blend. Together they're a dance (4), a tiny worker (3) and past exercise (3), what words can you find in there? [PS: answer is one four letter word, but dropping beginning/end will give the other two]. Enjoy! Dave

I worked it out, and Drie agrees I have it. But so I don't infect you lot, I'll let you post first. If no-one gets it, I'll post my answers.
