Forgot to put a numbers in last question.
(1) M na 8 g) C. (2) T an 2 T.

[elliemay1]

Could you repeat No.1, please. Is the g in brackets?

[sandyRoe]

that should be Myles na Gopaleen

[Molpluck]

Thanks.(1) M na 8 (g) C

[elliemay1]

sandyroe, where does the 8 come in?

[sandyRoe]

Elliemay1, I was thinking 8 letters in 'Gopaleen'. Myles na Gopaleen was the pen name of Brian Nolan, AKA Flann O'Brien, an Irish writer. That's his picture I use as my avatar.

[Baldric]

Number 4's a good one

Please can you clarify what we are looking for.
Are these just ditloids ( eg 11P in a CT = 11 players in a cricket team)?
Is there a theme?
An example of a similar question you have answered might help.
Thanks

[elliemay1]

Thank you, SandyRoe. I Googled Myles and see that it's written as na gCopaleen (g eclipsing the C) so that's prob correct. Just wondering what the theme is. Any ideas on T an 2 T?

[factor-fiction]

I still don't see how we get from M na 8 (g) C to Myles na gCopaleen

It would help to see an example of a question that has been answered

[elliemay1]

On a previous thread Molpluck gave the example of 3 C in T F =3 coins in the fountain. Said that these last 2 were in Gaeilge.

[Molpluck]

Thanks everyone, I've just solved T an 2 T. It is Tadgh an Da (2) Thaobh. It means Tadgh of the 2 sides = Two faced. Still no luck with M na 8 (g) C.

[Molpluck]

Got the last one. Madra na 8 gcos
