Country Quiz

It is not question No 40 of a Quiz. It is the cryptic clue: No 40 loses Al as written down here.

Theres no need to start a different question each time you want to comment on our answers, just reply.
We know this isnt clue 40, wethink we need the clue or answer answer to clue 40 to help with this one. It'll be that answer minus 2 letters we think

[bobbinwales]

Or is there no Q40

[Mamyalynne]

Exford, just to appease us please add the question at Number 40 and any answer you may have for it.

[bobbinwales]

Yes, in the box above that says Your Answer... just type your reply

[Exford1]

I cannot find the answer to this clue, I agree it looks like you lose Al from the name of a country, but I do not know what No 40 means and to which country it refers to.

[Mamyalynne]

Is there a question 40 in this quiz?

[bobbinwales]

Must be Austr(al)ia
Must be

[bobbinwales]

But I gave that earlier for you so maybe its not looking right for you

[bobbinwales]

Your now sayings Al so I used that. But when I asked before you said "No 40 loses A1 (it is a figure 1 not letter l) " so may be wrong

[Exford1]

Question 40 is: Sounds like 'the music is here' (7) letters. I have put the answer as Tunisia. Have just realised what you were saying, sorry. The only trouble is in my Clue it is Al!

[TheWinner]

Could be it loses "M" (motorway A1)

[Toorak]

The answer to 40 will be Austria (ref the sound of music)

[bobbinwales]

possibly but that still doesnt work with the Al/A1 clue

[Toorak]

It does work. If the answer to the clue is australia, then no 40 is australia minus al which is Austria

[bobbinwales]

Thud. Going in circles. Maybe its me. WHat clue here would have give Australia?

[bobbinwales]

Both answers are 7 letters Toorak. Somethings gone wrong IMO

[Toorak]

No 40 (Austria) loses al so the answer to this clue must be Austria plus al = australia

[Toorak]

I think it must be a setter error
