Some clues that may help
8. A mountaineer does this
13. Debit less i
18. Cannot give a better clue that listed above. "Human genetic term" [Think the order is OK]
30. Shorten form of "I shall"
59. Cruel instrument for stretching.
can you offer any help with 72 or 98. There is a clue for 98 above, but I do not know Yorkshire well enough to make sense of it.

Thanks, had got 13 and 59 after I posted the question. Think I've got 8 now, just not sure how it fits in with 'region'.
So, if 8836 is in the right place, it's obviously not Gene then...
The clue above for 98 is not right. It's not the first place in the Bible at all. Think of where a human being starts life, and then add a source of water and put them together (both words begin with a 'w').
72 is another word for a Sunday dinner, and read 'row' as a broad word, i.e. as in row a boat, rather than an argument row.
So we're looking for a genetic term for 8836, but pronounced with a 'g' sound, not a 'j' sound?...

Adrian.
The answer for No8 I had in mind ends with an "e" not "b". It is also another word for area or region, it that helps. Maybe in past times people talked about going to more sunny ones for ther vacations [if that does not confuse yiou more]
Thanks for Clue for no 98. That solves that one. Assume there is a silent letter in the pronouncation !!
from you clue for No 72 I have a word in mind, but not sure how it relates to ham !!
My answer of No18 [8836] is based on it being a code and gene is my answer at the moment [I did a google search for 8836] However I am not certain about there being a silent letter .

The problem with Gene being the answer for 8836 is that it is in the wrong place in the quiz, as phonetically it is pronounced as though it begins with a J, so would appear in the J section of the answers.
Yes, I have got the 'sunnier' one - that's fine!
I think the one about the ham, could just as easily refer to beef, pork, lamb...
I'm not 100% convinced about the shortened form of I shall. What's the 'man' bit got to do with it, and is the answer another word for an island?

adwarner: yes, the answer is another word for island, "man" is an example of it, and the shorter form of "I shall" is "I'll", which sounds like it.
I don't think there's a problem with the order of "gene" -- I can think of an ordering that all the other answers fit with and which "gene" would be OK at No 18. However, it does not seem to have a silent letter. Also, I still haven't twigged how 8836 is a code and why it suggests "gene" -- perhaps I am being really dim.....
*** OAP10, and anyone else doing this quiz *** question 15 should be a **7** letter answer, **NOT** 5 as originally printed. My copy of the question sheet has been corrected. I do not know what the marker will do regarding this question if some people have un-corrected question sheets. Anyway, your 7-letter solution for no 15 may well be right after all!
