Please parse these for me.
1. Head has row in discussion. Ans skull . Get the head bit but "row in discussion"?
2. Wall Street figure does own jinxed stocks . Ans Dow Jones Index -anag of "does own jinxed" but how is "stocks" an anagram indicator, please?
3. Reveal Scot's odd 22? Not so . Ans uncover. Assuming the reference is clue 22 and not the latin for 22 or something, then 22 was "Part of spread that's left " Ans verso.

3 Unco is odd in Scots, and add the Ver, from 22, (without the so/not so).

Thanks . I can safely say I have never heard of unco.

[Neveracrossword]

Thanks, Barnaclebill. My wee Scots dictionary says 'unco - unknown, unfamiliar...odd.... remarkable...' It can also be a noun, but I've never seen or heard 'uncos'!
