Let me know when you want a hint.

You are wrong. There are not only two.

Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!

What US State Capital has none of the letters contained in the name of the state?
For example, Indianapolis, Indiana is not the correct answer.

How about Pierre, South Dakota? I think that's the capitol.

Next question...

Maybe easy one: Name a word that contains three sets of double-letters in a row.

I got at least 16 words over here.

$ cd /usr/share/dict
$ grep -E "^[^aeiou]*a[^aeiou]*e[^aeiou]*i[^aeiou]*o[^aeiou]*u[^aeiou]*$" words
abstemious
abstemiously
abstentious
acheilous
acheirous
acleistous
affectious
annelidous
arsenious
arterious
bacterious
caesious
facetious
facetiously
fracedinous
majestious

$ grep -E "^[^aeiou]*a[^aeiou]*e[^aeiou]*i[^aeiou]*o[^aeiou]*u[^aeiou]*$" words | wc -l
16

Edit: Eh, forgot about 'y'.. then I guess the answer is "abstemiously"

Since no one has answered this, and since they do fit the OP's criteria, here are two words that work: adventitiously and autoeciously
No remark was made about repitition of vowels.

Are you just blind? Do you not see the second occurrence of a 'u' and 'o'? Going from left to right in that word looking for vowels in order, you will find them. Autoeciously

Sorry, WHO loses?

You still lose b/c you fail to understand what the riddle is asking.

It's asking for words that use the vowels IN ORDER. Please tell me how U coming before E or O coming before E is considered "in order".

Having repetition defeats the purpose of having the vowels in order. Noob go back and read and try to comprehend the riddle ok? thx.

You cant just ignor the u and the o! they're there so its NOT in ORDER!!! Now you could've made this argument if it went A E I O U Y and then had some other vowels afterwards or something....but thats it as far as I am concerned.

I'm not ignoring them. The fact is, the 6 requested letters can be seen in sequential order in the word. That is the only thing that was required by the OP. Don't forget you haven't even commented on adventitiously. I can only assume that you have nothing to say against it. Either way, my case that the OP is wrong about there being only two words still stands, as abstemiously has been repeatedly pointed out earlier in the thread..

Hes got a point, i think he wins...they are in order just b/c of repeats doesn't mean anything

Go on thinking what you want but both proposed words do not work. I wanted the letters in that order given A E I O U Y, not A E I I O U Y. Just deal.

Ask yourself these questions:
Does an A come before an E, I, O, U, and Y?
If so, does an E come before an I, O, U, and Y?
If so, does an I come before an O, U, and Y?
If so, does an O come before a U and Y?
If so, does a U come before a Y?

If you answered yes to all of the above, then the word counts.

Don't tell me to "Just deal" just because you want to be ignorant.

technically for your explanation "I" would have to come before "I" which it doesn't...although that method of testing a work was not mentioned by the OP and I could care less if your word counts or not.

For adventitiously, I will give you that one...that one is possible, but if you can't see why "Autoeciously" doesn't work, then I can't help you.

You can't say that the 1st "u" in that word doesn't count for the order just because it is a repeated vowel.

Look at the word. Does the first vowel you come across start with an A? Yes, good.

Does the next vowel you come across start with an E? No, THEN IT DOESN'T WORK.

Autoeciously does not work. How can you think it does. You can't ignore the first U and O just b/c you see them later. Again, read the post above this one.

Go down the word, the first vowel you hit must be A, the next must be E, etc etc. After that, maybe you can other vowels since it's not specified. Also, adventitiously might work...i was never talking about that word to begin with anyways.
