Good thinking Flowermyth. You are pretty good at these.

It might have helped if you had listed your clues as 1, 2, 3 and 4. I assumed that the name had to begin with the letter 'B'. As in Brown!

Brilliant Flowermyth. I concur Foinavon, FM is very good indeed at these, as you are yourself!

Sorry about that naydam, I will try and be a bit more clear next time

Thanks guys

Here I have another puzzle. I don't know where to start! I dunno if its in code or what but the solve on it should give a set of co-ordinates (The North Co-ordinates should begin 54 or 53)... so if anyone can find a code/solve to get a set of numbers from it that would make some kinda sense id be very pleased! co ordinates are set out (Nxx.xx.xxx Wxx.xx.xxx). Here is the puzzle.

no takers? maybe im as confused as everyone else

OK OK...

NOBODY EVEN ATTEMPTING THIS AS IT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST ABOUT.

how about the following puzzle. I just don't know where I can find associated one digit numbers from, maybe you can. All I know is its something to do with Murder on the Orient Express



solve the puzzle below to reveal its location



54.AB.CDE



001.FG.HIJ



A=  MR F

B= MRS H + MR M

C= MR M + MR P

D= MRS H

E= MISS D - MR R

F= MR M

G= MR R

H= MR H - MR H

I = MR R

J = MR MAC

Try this:

N 54.57.539

W 001.42.026

looks right as its close to the original mark. how did you get the numbers for each? your pretty hot at these puzzles FM

The one thing I remember about the story was that they all 'did it'. I figured it might be some maths in the order they did it, but I couldn't find out the order. But (on wiki) was what number compartment they were all in and when I saw that Mr H was 16 and the sum was Mr H - Mr H, I thought I might be on the right trail. Hope it's right after all that.

Scroll down for the coach plan:

Looks spot on! I took a look at the first few paragraphs on wiki at first then decided IMDB would be more informative for ages/numbers on clothes/cabins etc... drew a blank on there and thought maybe I need to know more. Couldn't see the woods for the trees

Cheers FM. Hope you are enjoying some of these solves that you are achieving!

I have a 4 part puzzle im stuck with. I have 3 parts done and I swear there is no other answers left. so maybe someone has the answer or has come across this puzzle before. using the number 1-9 once only. place them in a 3x3 grid.... so that row 2 adds up to twice row 1 and row 3 adds up to 3 times row 1. below are the 3 answers I have so far and really cant think of a fourth at all.

219       327       273
438       654       546
657       981       819

They're a good work out, but I'm nowhere with the 53CAH... one above or some of the previous ones.

384

Very good, now give us the winner of the 6.10 @ Kempton.

Booo - I was gong to add that Nassuvian Pearl is the danger!

Don’t know if it is a coincidence, but if you take the values for the letters CAHKEY as in A=1 etc, then that sequence adds up to 53.

By the way, is the R0M definitely a zero or a letter O?

Brilliant shab...totally overlooked that one

FM I think from what I can tell its a zero, but wouldn't bet my life on it. (if that helps) its totally bamboozled me. I shelved it as I couldn't even get started! but if you can assist id be most grateful

Well done with the Queen link FM. Very good.

I like these kind of threads, I always think I'll be good at them until I read the questions!

Here is a few cryptic clues to celebs. I know a few but not all (I think I know B, and definitely know D,E). There is some kinda connection between them and I need to know that too... here is the puzzle


What connects the celebrities that can be identified from the following clues?

A. Gems from the Netherlands might lead him to a bit of Slap and Tickle.

B. A loose woman? She was This Morning.

C. Strictly a 10 for his big balls.

D. She likes her Fatboy Slim, with or without a Johnny.

E. She gets the Juice with Holly and a Lemon.

F. Fooling around at the Sconewall but his buns aren't soft

D, Zoe Ball

a. jools holland

t

ok so far we have

A - Jools Holland
D - Zoe Ball
E - Fearne Cotton (I think)

any ideas on the other 3 and the connection

any advances?

who do you have for B?

Ruth Langsford or Judy Finnegan?

nobody as yet, the three above are the only three I have so far. my guess for B would've been Ruth langsford but could be that Andrea maclean (possibly?)... but to be honest it could be anyone as i don't have any good ideas.

Ruth Langsford and Judy Finnegan have both done Loose Women and This Morning.

Judy only on Loose Women a short time, but was a big deal in the early days of This Morning.

Ruth more recent and current on both, a presenter on both, albeit part time on TM.

ok, so a possible on both. will become more apparent if we know the connection... or make some kinda connection

I was thinking possibly Darren Gough for C and Paul Hollywood for F, but really not sure.

possibly! still don't know the connection or the other as concrete answers....

its progress though squares, liking the help!

Think Coleen Nolan has also done TM and LW?

Could C be Alan Dedicoat? He used to call the Lottery numbers.

like both ideas guy, I still cant see any connection (lateral, literal etc...)

I hope you post the answer if you ever find out. I've looked at it a few times now and I haven't got anywhere.

I googled Sconewall and it seems that it is a gay bakery! Are we then looking for a Yank poof that thinks he is funny? Arnold?

lol no idea on the sconewall one, although Paul Hollywood did sound a decent answer but im just not getting it. there might not be a direct connection between them, for instance there first names may all be characters from the simpsons or something. but what that connection is I have no idea. If F is Paul Hollywood the n im sure the word Hollywood would be the connecting feature rather than the person himself (Hollywood being a good word to connect others to stuff).... im basically just trying to find something to go off.

Which ones are correct do you think?

A. Jools Holland
D. Zoe Ball
E. Fearne Cotton

have to be correct

They've all had radio shows on BBC.  Dunno who the other three are.

C - could be Bruno Tonioli. I've seen his balls and they are huge.

Could B. be Gloria Hunniford, done LW, TM and has a BBC radio show?

could be Gloria hunniford.... BBC radio programmes looks a likely connection.

still no further forward with this one

im still lost and no further forward a month on.

If Rob's answer isn't right then he must be close with the BBC (programmes if not radio) connection. I think I was trying to overthink it too much, the Beatles answer was fairly straightforward.

yeah i think that could well be the connection.... just need to get all 5 names and know they are right! i think once we definitely have the right connection the names should be more obvious or the other way round (stating the obvious i know)

Google says DJ Spoony, Scott Mills and Jeremy Vine are all BBC radio presenters who've been on Strictly. I can't put their names with the clue for question C though.
