3 to go

[hibiscusrose]

I would really appreciate help with these last three answers.

1. Spoke about century being excellent(7)
pattern:
R - D - - - L (is it radial about 'c'? - although I don't know how RADICAL would fit.

2. About to join tough Stallone character with the French cannon(9)
pattern:
- - R - M - O L E

3. Also not completely smart(4)
pattern:
- L - S

Thank you in advance

[sandyRoe]

radical, yes. spoke in the sense of radial rather than talked.

Thanks sandyRoe & Oldred,
I couldn't find how radial matched spoke in any way sandyRoe.
Also carambole seemed to come up with info on billiards!!
Any other advice please?

[bibblebub]

a cannon in billiards is when the cue ball deliberately hits more than one ball on the table

[sandyRoe]

a 'cannon' is a billiard shot. And a carambole is a French term for the same stroke.
The spokes on a wheel are radial, radiate from a point.

A cannon in billiards is when the cue ball hits both other balls

I've been trying all day!
