eight as in after eights
Question Author
6 letters though donny48
Ignore eight, I thought the answers had to be sweets, read it wrongly.
What is the answer to 9?
Question Author
Sorry dannyk13 I should have said that the answer to clue No.9 is STAR though not sure how relevant that is!
I suggested after eight on another thread because it is the logical answer- apart from the letter count!
I also looked at letters of alphabet: 8 is H and 9 is I, but only 6 letter word I could think of was ICICLE but couldn't parse that
Roman numerals don't help either 8is V11 and 9 is IX
I also tried 12 days of Christmas- 8th day of Christmas...
Question Author
Hi fiction factory.Yes I have tried to parse a few 6 letter words including infant,trifle and gateau but have got nowhere!
I didn't miss your mention Maxy in my other thread - will have a think along with everyone else.

Have you got the details of this quiz so we can get a copy?

What number is this question in the quiz?
Question Author
Hi Mamyalynne & fiction factory. It is a local church quiz so you can't log on to get a copy. It is question No. 20 out of 50. Thanks for your help. Maxy.
I have just thought it might be iphone (not Christmassy though except the iphone 9 might be a popular present this year). The only was I could explain thesweet though is that it's made by Apple.
Clutching a straws here.
Question Author
Not sure about that any more than I was with Irises which somebody suggested yesterday!
Eights has six letters
yes, i think it must be eights.
Clue would have ben better if it was "Nines come next..."
Question Author
But what has eights to do with Christmas?
nines are after eights
We always have After Eights at Christmas
Question Author
Also the chocs are after eight not eights!
Working on that one.
