Hehe, no, not yet. The longest sentence without E's that I found is about 4-5 words long, and it's very obscure. And a couple others that I thought of are too well-known. Or, in other words, I just forgot about it when I posted the quote.

But one day it'll happen... You never know...

N's....so we can have sine. And if someone guesses C and another person guesses O, we can have cosine.

Guinevere · 02-12-2012, 10:05 AM

Hm, I have a suspicion where this might come from.
But let's have the O's (my favourite letter for this game

)

I always get confused when I hear sine and cosine, because my teacher calls them sin and cos. The foundation of trigonometry is against god!

Anyway... no cosine yet, cause no C's... But you've hit the mark with the two last letters. I think you'll be able to guess it now, or soon.
