Local Quiz, c/d 31 July
Any help with last three answers greatly appreciated.
1. Ruler’s Greens. (6, 5)
2. Six As and others. (12)
3. Daily endless raffle we point. (9, 5)
I was trying work out a parse for an offer, but it wouldn't parse, so it was obviously wrong. For a start I didn't read it right. I read it as "as" rather than As, which I think should have had an apostrophe "A's". So I had started to try and build a word and started like this:
six = F
as = re
others = rest (anagram of ters)
was trying to parse =Frankfurters
obviously didn't work though.
Sorry TheWinner only just seen this.at first I was trying to think of words starting vi (six), then words with as. Finally after reading the clues for what seemed to be the millionth time I went to OneLook dictionary search and typed ?a?a?a?a?a?a to see if it gave anything, and it gave taramasalata. Settled for that.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to see how you experts come up with answers - my brain gave up the ghost just trying to keep track! Great answers and am even happy with taramasalata even though I don’t see how it fits the clue!
