Evens is club SLB
(Even numbered letters of "is club". A bit sh.it this one as the sentence didn't really make any sense aside from the cryptic bit) "Polly" singers in ecstasy NIRVANA (Another pretty cr.ap one. Polly was a song by NIrvana, and Nirvana means ecstasy) Soldier pulls loudly TOMMY TOES (Soldier = Tommy, pulls = tows, loudly indicates that it sounds like "tows", though not necessarily spelt that way) |

By:
Aaah, they sound so simple when they're explained. I can see them easily now. :^0
Thanks again rob. Was once a time when there were a few cryptic quizzes about, and one person got them with absolute ease it seemed. Either Andy Murray, liamcol or gleeman, or a quizzer rarely seen. Very impressive whoever it was. |

As I said, I think Ken is v.good at them. As is sparky. And according to this thread, though I hadnt noticed before, so are Andy Murray and Paddy Mayne

Ken Masters is very sharp. Not an eager quizzer though it would seem. In the first Pass It On quiz he picked up points quite well for not being online a lot (assume he comes on at work, while the PIO thread saw more action during the evenings).
And that's just reminded me of Parallel Flange Channels. :^0 |

that was my question dk!!! That really made me, and everyone else i think, laugh. He was in there like a flash, was a v.quick answerer, shame he doesn't bother with quizzes anymore. That first one to 100 quiz was great fun, I think people really enjoyed it thoughit took over some peoples lives for 10 days or so. The second one just didn't take off for some reason, I resurrected it at the weekend and still no interest.

I love that he almost definitely knew it because of its rude connotation, rather than because he knows construction terms. I half-expected him to get it IIRC!! Excellent.

By:
have we got the last one then?
|
|
By:
Can someone explain 9 please?
And any clues on the missing one, quizmaster? |
|
By:
I am struggling with 9 as well DS. Understand the 'found' for 'form' but cant make 'Study' fit for 'Con' :(
|
|
By:
I can't get any of them. I didn't even get PoolFC :(
|
|
By:
Pool, you're not alone.
There was one in my name, I didn't get it either. |
|
By:
Join funds (POOL) for starting clubs first (FC)

PaddyMayne - con = study (a meaning of the word con = to get to know, to study, especially by repetition), and Found = Form = (as in the verbs to found = to form)
for 30, I am trying to think if there is a forumite called BackOrLay or something similar. can't think of any tictac for the odds equivalent of 2.59 or 1.58. is it around 13/8? |
|
By:
13-8 is 2.625
|
|
By:
1.61 is 8-13
|
|
By:
No, I meant I understood it once I saw the answer, but I'd never have got it myself

By:
30 = 2:59 or 12:58
I will post the answer before 10pm tonight. No doubt to a chorus of boos, though I thought it was a good one. Not Guardian/Independent/Times class imo, but there you go. |

Is 30 maybe DStyle?
as in 'Digital style'? |
|
By:
no no

By:
30 2.59 or 1.58
off out now, so here is the answer: 2.59 equals one to three. how do you get from one to three? treble 12.58 equals two to one, which of course is treble your money. So the answer is..... TREBLE |

By:
16 NOV 23:30 post by the way I did correct the clue - it is 12:58 not 1:58 as I just posted, I copied from too early in the thread :(

would have been a struggle even with the odds as the clue

By:
there were decimal points the first clue, and colons the final time
