They had no idea what to look for
draw a circle on a piece of paper · from the receiver to the sender · it hadn’t been what it seemed · go for a walk and then maybe have lunch · the possibilities of human development · the universe both expands and contracts · have a telephone extension near the pool · 23 per cent did not give their views · reduce emotional conflicts · we decided not to go ahead · take six bullets from a revolver · supernatural power

Funny, how correct the prediction was
the moment when you know · independent calculating devices · as far as you can see through the rain · it may be painted or bleached · space and time are joined together · the body as a whole or of any of its parts · fundamental aspects of a revolution · the earth is divided into 24 time zones · there is no need to bring a suit · philosophy makes sense of concepts · substances used as low-calorie sugar substitutes

Sometimes structure is very simple
with particular emphasis being given · birds are the chief nest builders · the best word to describe our universe · three unpaired electrons · chemical composition · some viruses contain enzymes · balls are moving in circles · temperature variations at different depths · we can refer to our experience · true pyramid exists only in Egypt · a new set of rules · the basis of light and other radiation from stars

Some women wear transparent raincoats
almost nobody stayed to eat · catching rain water before it evaporates away · as it came into the light · tremendously good and truely ambitious · naked rain dance · hear the wind in the trees · everything looked very clear · lakes have been poisoned by acid rain · the natural order of things · coming from and going to nowhere in particular · the sun went behind clouds · the river wasn’t visible · the amount of rain likely to fall
