Quadrivial Quandary: Origins

http://www.quadrivialquandary.com/OriginsOfQQ.html

Origins of the Quandary. Rudi Seitz. Boston, MA. October 1, 2009. Quadrivial Quandary gestated for eight years before I built it. The idea dates to 2001 when I was a software engineer at a fledgling company in Boston. To choose our name, the CEO locked himself in an office, pored over a Marquesian dictionary, and emerged with avaki. Index cards that had contained a bristling salmagundi of terms now held twenty repetitions of Got water? With all the obscure, fascinating, and arguably unnecessary words tha...

Quadrivial Quandary Archive (06/06/2011): claque, repurpose, banshee, pecksniffian

http://www.quadrivialquandary.com/archive_rand

Attempts to resolve the Quandary:. At the preachers every pecksniffian intimation of their faiths incomparable succour of the needy, those gentry comfortably ensconced in the box pews, the same parishioners who at home would keen like banshees at the serialised demise of a fictional waif, chimed in complacently right on cue, like some well-drilled theatre claque repurposing its wordly hurrahs to pious laudation, while taking ever firmer hold of their purse strings. The Quandary for Monday, June 06, 2011.

Quadrivial Quandary: Guidelines

http://www.quadrivialquandary.com/main/guidelines

Use all the words. Your sentence must include all four words. Not three, not two, not one; four. We don't accept excuses like "The word's absence was its implicit inclusion.". Illustrate the meanings of the words. Your sentence should do more than use the words in a grammatically acceptable way, it should show what they mean. If someone didn't know the meaning of a word, could they make a good guess from how it's used in the sentence? Be natural (or fake it well). What's the point of view? QQ is a chance...
