London A-Z

[Pea Brain]

Please can someone help me with this query about question 87.
I have got two answers - both of which seem perfectly feasible.
1 begins with A and the other with G. Any comments gratefully received !!!! P

As I've mentioned before
Lots of hints for various questions here.

Lots to trawl through but should prove worthwhile.

[Pea Brain]

Thanks Fibonacci I have trailed through that list but got fed up before the end - quite near the end !! Sadly no luck !!! P

What's the clue, Pea Brain?

[naomi24]

Think Period Table.

[naomi24]

Oops. Periodic Table.

[naomi24]

I'm surprised the Editor puts up with these constant links to another quiz site. It only seems to happen with the Rainbow quizzes. Can't think why the answers to those are so closely guarded here.

[naomi24]

From the clue = RA

I presume that refers to Royal Arsenal .... hence Arsenal.

[Captain2]

RA = Royal Artillery = Gunners, to my mind.

[naomi24]

Ahhh .... now there's a thought. You're probably right.

[ichkeria]

18=Argon, 34=Selenium, 7=Nitrogen, 13=Al
ArSeNAl

[Hopkirk]

Royal Arsenal? I've never heard them called that. They used to be Woolwich Arsenal, but then they moved.

[ichkeria]

...but then again Arsenal=Gunners=Royal Artillery, so without knowing the ins and outs, the answer could still be GUNNERS

[naomi24]

ichkeria, that's exactly what I did initially, but given we have RA, and this is such a sneaky quiz I tend to think Captain2 and divebuddy are right.

[naomi24]

Hopkirk, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Arsenal

[ichkeria]

Yes, it's not clear

[Garaman]

Naomi is correct of course, they are the atomic numbers for AR SE N and AL.

[Tilly2]

'Come on you Spurs!'

[naomi24]

Nah ... definitely not 'Spurs' Tilly. :o)
