Now I have got three questions and three answers left but can’t seem to get them to match could anyone tell me if I’m going in the right direction or if I will have to go through them again
Questions
12 at the start one of the two on board of which can be passed over
71 say are you left ruby? Romeo and Oscar lay back and place an order
85 the newspapers surround Nigeria leader who is in charge
Answers I have left are
Changing of the guard
King Canute
Queen of spades
Thanks if you can help to point me in the right direction

85 could be princess ......press surrounds (N)igerian leader(i)n (c)arge

[Calibax]

I can't match any I'm afraid. It looks like 12 should be something to do with knights on a chessboard and 85 should be something to do with a princess - N(igeria) in I(n)C(harge) in Press

[JJ109]

71 "R & U" left ruby = (RU)BY + R(omeo) O(scar) + Lay backwards = ROYAL + order + Command
= By Royal Command

[JJ109]

71 Could therefore be King Canute - commanding the sea to retreat

[smurf]

So if 71 is by royal command the question I have is family has the force to be able to refute without a judge

[smurf]

But I like your thinking

[mallyh]

that could be the kin(G) canute one

[JJ109]

Family = KIN
force + G(force)
aable to = caan
refute without judge = (Ref) UTE
KING CANUTE

[mallyh]

sorry missed take ref (judge)from refute

[JJ109]

Do you have another spare answer now, Smurf?

[JJ109]

12 Queen of Spades
2 Queens on a chessboard and passed is an anagram of spades

[smurf]

So all I have is 85 the newspapers surround Nigerian leader who is in charge
And answer changing of the guard can anyone get it to fit or I will have to go through the quiz again

[smurf]

But if 85 is poss princess the spare one I have is
“daughter”

[Mamyalynne]

'changing' is an anagram indicator

[smurf]

Thanks just got it yes anagram
