[Quizmonkey]

You're joking: you have OVER TWO MONTHS left to puzzle these out for yourself.

[crofter]

Now I think I've seen everything!

[Suedehead]

I know but I can't afford the divorce!

[razza]

Not asking for much are you,plenty of time to test the grey matter.

[Goofy]

and I haven't got them yet anyway

[juliefer]

I agree with all the postings above mine, Suedehead, but it's reassuring to find that someone is even further from finishing than I am.

[marvinparvin]

It was requested on this site earlier that people didn't ask for help/request hints/answers fir this quiz until after Easter. Please back off.

Whilst I agree with the sentiments of most of the posters above, I do not think that these people should be running the website for their own purposes. There are those other people who for a host of different reasons,sound or otherwise, may wish to get on with the puzzle and enjoy sharing the dialogue with other solvers. ANYONE

[Magic1]

who does not wish to see the answers does not have to use the site until they are ready

[Suedehead]

Obviously the wrong forum for hints. Sorry about that. I'll try elsewhere.

What is the point of doing a quiz if you are going to ask for that many answers. Hints for the question,thats what a clue is.Nearer the closing date you may well get the answers,but it cannot give satisfaction knowing a lot of answers have been given to you.I only want one answer,I wouldnt dream of asking for the answer until the last moment.

[dougglos]

Suedehead :- Yes, I have sympathies with both points of view - I managed to get all except number 43 within about a week, and have racked my brains ever since without luck ! It would be useful to get that last one so I can get some peace (and sleep!!) but there are obviously people who get hot under the collar when someone asks for help this early. On the other hand, if they are not expecting to get help so early, why are they logging into this site well before the closing date ? I will obviously have to come back late in May to see if anyone has been allowed (!) to post answers !! Anyway, hope you get them all eventually, help or not !

dougglos.

[Suedehead]

Absolutely dougglos. I do the quiz for fun and not for a living - I would gladly pay my donation to the organisers just to get the answer sheet never mind the prize!

Any road, I've got some really good hints now some of which are just as intriguing as the clues but alas not for 43 - that's a stinker!

Incidentally, because there's bound to be comments, I wouldn't dream of accepting any prize for a quiz where I'd used hints or received answers from others - and that includes Google. I'm glad I made the original post though as it's been just as much reading the tosh on this forum.

[razza]

in answer to douggloss,there is not only rainbow quiz questions on this site,I looked at this posting out of curiosity whilst browsing.In answer to suedehead,the only tosh on this posting is coming from you,why dont you just wait for the closing date,and send your money with a S.A.E. and you will get the answers.

[teacher1]

Suedehead. It would have been easier to cut and paste the 100 questions rather than type out the above !

[Suedehead]
