Hatch Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 doing a cryptic quiz for the school. All answers are countries, places , cities etc.. lI have done 99 out of 100 , the last one to get is Spiritual Music. Any ideas.
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Did anyone get this right - on another note, I nearly completed a crossword while on the train today but got stuck on the folowing clues:- Scots shout about yellow colour - 5 letters Relaxation from an alerted state - 9 letters Anyone?

Pancake Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 something like sedated, use the letters they give you.
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 something like sedated, use the letters they give you. no - D _ A _ _ D _ W _
Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Nope, I reckon you've got a word wrong going through it.
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Nope, I reckon you've got a word wrong going through it. Well I did think that but every word going through it works with the others if that makes sense???
Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 It's Standdown Jill, as zanehed posted above. Your "D" is wrong at the start.
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 It's Standdown Jill, as zanehed posted above. Your "D" is wrong at the start. Oh ok, the clue where I got the D from was 'Applies Palm Oil, Apparently' and the quick clue was 'Lubricates', therefore surely an S rather than a D?
Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 And yes, most likely an "S" at the end of the answer, as it's in the present tense.
bridge too far Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Oh ok, the clue where I got the D from was 'Applies Palm Oil, Apparently' and the quick clue was 'Lubricates', therefore surely an S rather than a D? 'Greases' is the answer to that clue I reckon Bugger you beat me
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 'Greases' is the answer to that clue I reckon Bugger you beat me Exactly - thats where the S comes from? Therefore it begins with S. The A comes from - 'American Intelligence Agency' which I put CIA as the C and the I fit in the other answers.
Jillyanne Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 So where did the "D" ever come from? D is from 'Aided' - clue is 'given assistance to'
Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 So am I. You never had an "S" in the original 'answer' but you had two "D"s. The first "D" was wrong, I was just wondering where it came from when the answer that goes through it was "Greases".
Kadeem Hardison Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 American Intelligence Agency isn't very cryptic. Is this The Sun crossword with two sets of clues? I bet you used the coffee time ones and are pretending that you used the cryptic ones.
Ponty Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 American Intelligence Agency isn't very cryptic. Is this The Sun crossword with two sets of clues? I bet you used the coffee time ones and are pretending that you used the cryptic ones. It makes a Pilkington "Rockbusters" clue look cryptic.
Saint Martini Posted 28 May, 2009 Posted 28 May, 2009 Seoul? I think it supposed to be pronounced as Soul which is both a music style and a word for the spirit. HTH

I bet you used the coffee time ones and are pretending that you used the cryptic ones. Not the Sun, no. Not even my paper, one we found on the train and decided to do the xword to relieve the boredom.

Hatch Posted 29 May, 2009 Author Posted 29 May, 2009 Seoul? I think it supposed to be pronounced as Soul which is both a music style and a word for the spirit. HTH I like. very Good.
Saint Martini Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 The man is a ****ing genius! It was a moment of inspiration that surprised myself.
Pancake Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 The Cars final resting place. Is the capitalisation and punctuation correct?
Frank's cousin Posted 29 May, 2009 Posted 29 May, 2009 Another one... The Cars final resting place. Bedford? ????grave
Hatch Posted 29 May, 2009 Author Posted 29 May, 2009 Is the capitalisation and punctuation correct? no.

Saint Martini Posted 30 May, 2009 Posted 30 May, 2009 Isn't there a racetrack somewhere that's called/nicknamed the graveyard?
