Festive Dingbats - Pendleside Hospice - 6 January 2020

[bluebell56]

First time I have attempted a Dingbat Quiz and I am struggling with the last four.
No.15 - Ballgown on the left side in the middle Listed on the right side is Lily, Dandelion, Tulip, Oak, Daffodil, Iris. The word Oak has an arrow pointed into it.
No.25 - SMITHFIED top line and BIINGSGATE below it.
No.37 - BRET top line and CAROL below it.
No.41 - Noel at top left hand corner, a think bubble with Ho Ho Ho, Ha Ha,Ha, He, He, He in it pointing to Noel. On the right side another think bubble with the words I'm not bad in it which is pointing to the word Lancelot at the bottom.
Could anyone doing this quiz help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

25, Noel, Noel ?

[Mamyalynne]

25 Removing 'L' indicates what word? + what are the two words when spelled correctly examples of.

[Buenchico]

^^^ I was thinking along those lines, Mamya, but 'Noel markets' doesn't make much sense to me and it seems to be stretching things a bit to get to 'Christmas markets'.

. . . but I never was much good at this stuff anyway!

[Mamyalynne]

With this quiz setter it's getting to know how he works.

[Mamyalynne]

Re 41, you have omitted the scores which when spoken slot in to make the whole phrase work.

[bluebell56]

Sorry yes No.41 has 2-2 below the bubble on the left and another 2-2 over the bubble on the right.
Still can't get it. Haven't quite got the hang of this setter yet.

[Tuvok]

Mamyalynne is right - and luckily you will get the answers fully explained by the setter after the quiz closes.

Here's some clues - assuming my answers are right!

15. What is a ballgown? Why does Oak have the arrow - eg. what is an Oak/why is it different from the rest of the list?

37 - you are close, just reword it - where is Bret? You'll end up with 3 words, run them together.

Buenchico is right for 25.

[bluebell56]

I have now got No.25 and No.41 thanks for the clues.
No.15 I know is a tree - perhaps dancing!
No.37 No idea who Bret is?
I have decided Im not good with Dingbats!!

[Tuvok]

For 37 you had below. Think again - Bret is where in relation to Carol, not where Carol is in relation to Bret.

For 15 - what is another word to describe a ballgown? If is not A tree its ??? tree

[Mamyalynne]

37 you really don't need to know 'Bret'

Say - Bret
say where it is - ??
Say what it is above - ?????

Then look up what you have said.

Got them at last. Thank you Mamyalynne and Tuvok. Never heard of No.37 no wonder I couldn't get it. Just need to decide what to put for No.48 Lump over Ucase as there has been a few suggestions on here.
Many thanks once again.
