[Xodlirv]

Maybe in future we should limit these puzzles to things the average person is likely to encounter in their lifetime. :wowzer:

[milagros317]

Or at least to things that can be found in an unabridged dictionary. Ordinary dictionary, that is, not medical or other specialized dictionary. :p

[amk714]

vesica piscis? :D

(I looked in an online medical dictionary; Xodlirv was correct, it is a medical term.)

Your guess is correct, Mils. However, it's a mathematical term, not a medical one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesica_piscis :D

I suppose I should've used its English translation of "fish bladder" instead of the original Latin word. Sorry about that. :p

Your puzzle, Mils. :rotate:

[milagros317]

Thanks for the link, I didn't know it had a mathematical meaning. :D

Actually, I think you made a good point. My last two puzzles have been rather difficult to solve. :p You were also half-right: Vesica, by itself, is a medical term. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vesica :D
