Here is a word association game that requires a bit more thought.

The next word you put must be associated with the preceding one BUT must also start with the last letter of that previous word.

For example

Calculation

Numbers

Sum

"Live Life Joyfully" the Dalai Lama

Quoted from SuziH

Black-eye

not allowed........back to eyeful

Look

Throwing this one out for adjudication :

Taking "look" as a style or trend in fashion or design

kitsch - "Kitsch is the German word for trash. Sometime in the 1920s it came into use in English to describe particularly cheap, vulgar and sentimental forms of popular and commercial culture" ( Tate Gallery Online )

Sorry I have never played before and obviously didn't 'get it'

despicable (is that okay?)

"Live Life Joyfully" the Dalai Lama

Quoted from SuziH

Sorry I have never played before and obviously didn't 'get it'

despicable (is that okay?)

"Despicable" would be fine in Word Association Mark I , but here the last letter of the preceeding word becomes the first letter of the next

So LB's "hateful" requires the next word to begin with "L"

Got another word up your sleeve ( or should I say "wings" ? ) , SuziH ????

No, the next letter is I.

Quoted from Sillygostly

No, the next letter is I.

What does Iodine have to do with the number XII?

If you provide a valid explanation, my response to your word will be 'element'.

[u]Niven-morphic numbers[/u]
According to an article in the Journal of Recreational Mathematics the origin of the name is as follows. In 1977, Ivan Niven, a famous number theorist presented a talk at a conference in which he mentioned integers which are twice the sum of their digits. Then in an article by Kennedy appearing in 1982, and in honor of Niven, he christened numbers which are divisible by their digital sum "Niven numbers." (Sometimes also called "Harshad Numbers")

In an article appearing in Journal of Recreational Mathematics in 1997, Sandro Boscaro defines and discusses Niven-morphic numbers. These are Niven numbers which terminate in their digital sum. For example 912 is such a number since it has a digital sum of 12, is divisible by 12, and ends in 12. In this article he proves a startling result. There is no Niven-morphic number which has a digital sum of 11, is divisible by 11 and ends in 11. 11 is the *only* such exception.

I fail to see the association between EVENING and GRACIOUS, but to carry on.....

Stately

IMO evenings are gracious; they do not intrude, they are agreeable...

and I fail to see the association between stately and gracious; one does not necessarily go with the other IMO, but each to his own.
