dingbats

[hops]

hi, could you help me with two dingbats both answers relating to christmas in some way:-

[1] santa claus is written in the form of a circle with the word Depart in the middle of this circle

[2] the word 'the' is written three times under each other on the right-hand side of the dingbat and then George 1
George 11
George 111
George 1V
George V
George V1
are written on the left-hand side of the dingbat directly under each other

2 three kings

[hops]

thanks tenrec, i was concentrating on six kings too much

[wiggers99]

How about "these three kings" for 2? Three times the = the(s)e?

[hops]

thanks wiggers, i think it maybe a mixture of the two answers given, namely:- the three kings, which is apparently a christmas poem by longfellow, has anyone any ideas on the first dingbat.

Long shot but if the george i ,ii ,ii ect could be Georgian calendar

Look more closely at your question 1. You've missed part of the clue out.

[hops]

hi,brokenback, i probably being awfully thick here but i would need you to help me a bit with whay you mean, i can only see whai i put, best, hops.

[brokenbank]

If you look at question 21, you haven't mentioned the IB in the top left hand corner of the question box.............it's critical to the answer.

[brokenbank]

then for depart, try leave

[hops]

thanks brokenback, you won,t believe this but i had already put that as the answer. i had depart as a military term meaning 'by your leave' and then took your out to make by leave or believe, but i still couldn't figure out where the 'i' fitted in. silly me never saw the 1b in the corner. i must have been thinking it was the question number! thanks for your help, best, hops.

[brokenbank]

Don't worry, I did exactly the same to start with. I'm actually helping just helping a friend with this and keep getting a few to help with. We have got every answer except for Nos. 16 and 39....any ideas.

[hops]

hi, brokenbank, the answer to no.16 is 'Wassailing' i.e. sail in was. no 39 is missing from my answers also, best, hops.

[hops]

forgot to ask you brokenbank, in question 8 have you put a number in the answer, if you see what i mean, best, hops.

[brokenbank]

Hi hops.................no we havn't put a number in the answer (I know what you mean), just two words. If we solve no. 39 I'll post it on here, thank you for no. 16.

[hops]

no problem

[hops]

one last thing brokenbank if you could, it concerns question 29, i do not want you to tell me the answer i don't think that would be fair but to help me try and work it out for myself could you tell me how many words are in the answer and what initials they start with, best hops.

[brokenbank]

Question 29......

We have two words, beginning with C and D.

We're still working on Question 39 but getting nowhere fast.

[hops]

thanks, brokenbank, C and D, eh, that will keep me going for a while, i'll be bound. yes, same here with 39, i will post too if i get it,best hops.

[brokenbank]

If you get really stuck let me know. The only tip i can think of is that Noel means Christmas, but it can also be interpreted as "no L"
