A clue please (after all still 2 months to go) to number 1)
Note, say, hte insects' nervous sign.

I normally find questions 1 and 100 fairly easy, but annoyingly stuck on this one.

The only sign I can see that fits is Saggitarius and I can't think why it should be that.

[FoxLee2]

What symptom do you get if you're feeling very nervous, say before an exam or visit to the dentist. In the stomach area

[Badger4]

No help but I have arrived at exactly the same point - I cannot see how Saggitarius fits the clue.

Other thoughts - does nervous signify an anagram of a single letter note (a, b, c, etc) plus "the" plus "insects" - but I cannot make that work either?

[Goofy]

ok FoxyLee get that, but where does the Note come in?

[Badger4]

Thank you - the penny has dropped. Back to the last ten.

[FoxLee2]

You two are making this so much more difficult than it is. Forget sign, that's the least important part of the question. Just think of a common, pretty, insect that in the plural has 11 letters.

[FoxLee2]

Musical note B

Say - utter

[Badger4]

Note in the musical octave

[smartowl]

The Note is 'B', say is utter followed by an insect.

[FoxLee2]

Badger4 - have you done 65? I've got the second word Moth but have spent ages trying to get the first part. Any clues please?

[Goofy]

65) what flooring has a pile?

[Magic1]

Foxlee Could you now confirm that unusually the second answer word for Number 65 is the same word for the second answer word for clue 59 ?? Thanks

[FoxLee2]

Yes, it would appear to be the same. I knew there was a carpet beetle, didn't know there was a carpet moth but how does it answer the 3 months' prison sentence?

[Magic1]

Foxlee Check with Cambers !

[Magic1]

Foxlee Sorry ! Check with Chambers

[FoxLee2]

Thank you Magic 1 - you learn something new every day!

[Badger4]

Sorry for the delay - I've been off line. Yes - I agree that the word carpet appears in both.

[Goofy]

I hadn't noticed the word appearing twice. I suppose one is the first word and one the second.
You might learn something new every day FoxLee, but will you remember!
