Wow, im impressed. I was on similar lines to knowing M + A had to equal more than 10 and as 5 had been used (I thought c=4 but wasn't sure) that would make them 6,7,8 or 9. But totally stuck there after.
Brilliant guys. Overwhlemed with a great effort and response from you both. Ive definitely come to the right place for these puzzles to get solved! |

morning guys, another day another fresh puzzle that im stumped with. maybe getting bogged down with going down the wrong lines, hopefully someone can shed some light on it. Here it is :-
When the flying doctor's nemesis took out an Empress they hit the headlines when they encountered the master of a big Norwegian town. You need to identify (A) the nemesis, (B) the master and (C) an unfortunate person for whom this was the second time in just over two years he had lost his job in the same way. In each case add up the numerical equivalent of his initials (ie A=1,Z=26). |

This sounds like a Dr Who theme but I don't watch it so don't know the various stories and names of actors. Perhaps others can pick up on this.

I thought that but I don't watch it either. maybe my 12yo step daughter can help she watches all the time. I`ll get her on the case!
If anyone thinks of anything in the meantime, just chip in! |

Ok can you help with these... now albeit i think this puzzle is awful and doesnt fit very well at all... Ok cryptic clues of football teams. Not stated but i think they are all football league teams in English leagues. there was 20 and i have 15 right but these 5 i have got wrong and i cant see the wood for the trees.
1 - LUCKY OR UNLUCKY ANIMAL DEPENDING ON YOUR OPINION (I SAID MAGPIES FOR NEWCASTLE AND ITS WRONG) - MAYBE SUNDERLAND(BLACK CATS 2 - CHRISTMAS BIRD (ANOTHER CLUE TO GO WITH THAT IS SCRUMPY) - SWINDON TOWN IS WRONG 3 - COLOUR OF SKY IN LONDON - COVENTRY IS WRONG ...............(COULD IT BE AS SIMPLE AS CHELSEA?) 4 - SWORDS AND KNIVES HAVE THESE - SHEFF UTD IS WRONG (NO IDEA HOW).......DAGENHAM MAYBE? 5 - BIRD, OVER THE RAINBOW - NOT CRYSTAL PALACE ... So im stuck on all the above 5, a few possibles but basically stumped. |

Here is another.... I need to solve the co-ordinates. All I know is its about dentistry and the Hint is Canine. Im guessing a lot of the UR stands for Upper Right.... and LL is Lower Left but the other letters im lost with to complete the puzzle and work out the relevant numbers.
54 (LLD-URB+LL4) . ((URA x ULA) - (URC x URC) -8) 001 LR4 /2 . ((LRE-URA) x 2) - (ULD-(LL2 x 2)) |
|
By:
I its any help to anyone that knows the least about dentistry or is better with tinternet to work it out than me. the first bit of the second half LR4/2 this should equal roughly 20... if it was 22/21/20/19/18 I reckon it would be about right for the puzzle. so if you solve that bit you are probably on the right lines.
