Well Known Sayings

[Torrin]

Iam doing a local quiz and have been stuck on the last 3 for a week now! I also have one which I have filled in but am not fully confident about. Can you help? Thankyou.
1. C.C.N.(8,5,7)
2. F.A.F.(7,3,6)
3. N.M.A.T.D.D.(5,4,3,3,5,6)
4. E.V.M.M.S.(5,7,4,4,5)....I have put"empty vessels make most sound" but I thought the phrase was "most noise". Am I on the wrong track completely with this one?

3 Needs must and the devil drives

[scorpiojo]

4 noise

[Torrin]

Thanks, scorpiojo for the answer and for also confirming my thoughts on no.4. It must be a different saying altogether.

[ChillDoubt]

I always thought it was Needs Must As The Devil Drives.

[scorpiojo]

Seems to be as/and/when, chill

[scorpiojo]

4 sorry, Torrin. Yes empty vessels

[ChillDoubt]

It just threw me (and others I suspect) with the 3 letters, scorpiojo.

Thanks eveyone. I still have to find No.2 and do any of you think the answer to no.4 is o.k. or have I got the wrong phrase?

[scorpiojo]

[Calibax]

Yes I have seen both:
Empty vessels make most noise/sound.

[Torrin]

Thanks Calibax. That's them all now. I am just going to go with my answer for no.4. unless anyone can come up with something else.

[scorpiojo]

Decisions, decisions ..!

courtesy costs nothing - maybe? though usual 'manners' don't costs anything - worth a try!

[Torrin]
