[Gemmel]

Cheers had to do 48 of these and these are the ones i'm not sure about.

 

The first one none of them appear to be similar, but thats not an option and the last one, on the assumption that an individual and municpaility are opposites, then i need the opposite for a loan and cant really see any of those fitting

Not the wrong way around! Write the numbers 3819 under CHIN, then allocate the numbers to the word INCH. So the letter C has the number 3, ergo the third number for the word INCH is a 3. And so on.

 

Does this make me intellygentt?
