Hi Kiwinan,

I don't have a copy of the Colossus yet but from my research it appears that there is fair bit of debate over how to spell 'Sulliman'. Here is a short piece of info you may find helpful. Perhaps someone else might be able to verify which is the correct spelling.


"Suleyman Pasha; ....... According to Wikipedia, which of course is not infallible, the Battle of Vaslui took place in 1475, Sulejman Pasha was around in 1614, and Suleiman Pasha was around in 1877. "
From Wikipedia.

Good luck,
Kitty

Hi Kiwinan and Kittyissjlb,

For 245D. Great Ottoman Ruler, I have 'Suleiman'

Oxford Dictionary Of English definition:
Suleiman I (also Soliman or Solyman) (c.1494-1566), sultan of the Ottoman Empire 1520-66; also known as Suleiman The Magnificent or Suleiman The Lawgiver. The Ottoman Empire reached its fullest extent under his rule.

For 271A. Covetous, I also have 'Envious'

Hope this helps. Post again if you get stuck.

Good luck in the competition.
Regards, Butterfly

Thank you Butterfly and Kittyissjlb for your reply

I have opted for Suleiman as it fits in with 'envious'

Can either of you confirm that 207 down is..
acini ? I had a problem with the "blackberry dupes" and took a calculated guess but am still unsure.
