Rainbow Quiz - Learning Curve - Closing Date 31 May

[JJ109]

As there is still two months + to go - I should prefer HINTS only. I only have three left to do and so don't want to wait two months before I can finish it. Thankyou.

All answers are something to do with education - some very loosely!

46. As before I enter the mine with the tutor (7)
49. Take away the intermediate class (6)
54. To figure out how a change of menu leads to having a distinctive flavour (8)

Thankyou.

[elliemay1]

46 a word for 'as before' and anagram it with 2 other words in the clue

[geevo]

49 Billy Bunter......

[elliemay1]

54 anag of one of the words + a word for , 'having a distinctive flavour'
Haven't got No. 49 yet

[JJ109]

Thanks both - I am working on it

[JJ109]

I now have 49 - thankyou Geevo.
I am struggling though with the other two as I am obviously not using the right words for "as before" and "having a distinctive flavour". I shall keep trying - thank you in the meantime.

[elliemay1]

the word for 'as before' is really short

[JJ109]

I assume "ex" thanks Ellie, I also assume "I" and "mine", but I cant get anything. I shall probably go Doh!! shortly.

[elliemay1]

'ex' is wrong but the other 2 are correct

[Mamyalynne]

If you go 'Doh' shortly, you're there

[JJ109]

Thanks

[JJ109]

Brilliant thankyou - got it

[Mamyalynne]

Well done.

[elliemay1]

jj,if you still need help with No.54 think Mathematics

[JJ109]

Thanks Ellie -I had previously tried every combination I could think of beginning "nume" or "enum". I can think of many that fit but none with "a distinctive flavour". Again I must be missing the obvious. Anagram of "sour" gives "numerous" but doesn't make sense. Numeracy, numerals, numerant, numerate...................

[Mamyalynne]

You've said it in your shortlist, check meanings of last four letters in some/all.

[JJ109]

Thank you - I have it now. I actually had it a long time ago, but never would have used the last 4 letters to mean "a distinctive flavour" although having just looked it up, it does give that as a definition in the dictionary.

Many, many thanks to Mamyalynne, Elliemay and Geevo.

[Mamyalynne]

Glad you're sorted.

[JJ109]

Thanks - I had to be spoon-fed though, didn't I?

[Mamyalynne]

I won't tell ;-)

[jenniferd]

I've been studying the help given for 46 but am still baffled. Can't see where the connection is for "doh" (as before) to 46.
Have 49 and 54.
