Can anyone give any hints for # 22, 39, 40,49?
@gumpy01,
Q 40 Merlins is a good hint.Q39 is it a trick question? and Q49 haven't got a clue.
@gumpy01,
struggling on 23
22. "culloden" hint to start time
@bennattod,
I think a clue to 23 may lie on a dartboard.
@bennattod,
Thanks - finally got it. #23 - good clue by Opsimath
@Opsimath,
thanks got the hint for 23
39 thinking odi possibly JR
@bennattod,
That is what I thought. I presume all formats not just Tests.Confirmation on query line not forthcoming.
@bennattod,
I agree with #39.
Has everyone solved 26, 29, 36 (or the dreaded 49)? I thought the first three would be really easy to find but am struggling with them.
@gumpy01,
26. Tokyo Olympics
29. Former Top Racehorse
36. M.R. Starring Film Role
23. Are we talking Roman Letter L, if so " famous character ? "
49. Haven't got a clue!
@bennattod,
I had found 26 but that is a great clue.23 Am a bit confused as thought characters name referred to a house.49 I don't have a clue either.
@bennattod,
Also,does answer to Q5 have a connection with William Hague?
@Opsimath,
In the 60's, Staten Island was called the Borough of Richmond..
@Opsimath,
39. thanks, but i'm thinking "taurus" as the far more famous character?
@bennattod,
Yes but it is the character's name from the TV comedy series we need surely.
@Opsimath,
Thanks , that's true.
Just making sure i had the right character in the first place
@bennattod,
I'm not sure if people are on the right lines with this. I have the comedy series as If The Crown Fits (1961). The actor is Robert Hardy (All Creatures Great and Small). But certain episodes have been lost from the archives so to find the character he played will be nigh on impossible.
@bennattod,
Thanks for these clues - working on them. #36 I may have got the answer sooner if I had read the question properly!! # 26 have found someone but at the moment cannot see the 'obvious link'.
@sophocles,
Can't see that RH was in that series.
