Tearing hair out over these.
28. He opened at new casino but was master of this (5,4)

97. Someone backing between King's cross and Old Street (5)

I have seen a couple of clues previously but am still puzzled.

97. Look at London Tube map . . . . KC, ?????, OS

28. think "Regal Herb"

28. You need to find an important name from history - it's an anagram of 'at new casino' - then google the name and look at a biography to find out what this person was master of.

You could always send an incomplete sheet if you can't do them all you know............it IS for charity after all.

Love the hints, but if poor Pangolin has any hair left I would be astonished!!!!

Thanks sodemail, although I feel a ban coming on, as I have been rather displeased tonight and have said so. You know they will be reporting me in their droves for having a different opinion! LOL

28a) anagram of 'at new casino' for the name of the most famous English mathematician and physicist who lived from the mid-1600's and into the 1700's ......

then look at his biography to find one of the positions/job he held .... 'Master of the ..... .... ' ...... (used to be based in London, but now in Wales!)

97) just look at the tube map for the station that is between Kings Cross and Old Street ..... 'backing' in the clue means people giving financial backing/ putting the money up in theatreland ....

i hope that you still have some hair left ..... :-)

athenae, I'm sure you must be enjoying yourself immensely.

It surely gives you pleasure to annoy others!

I can only imagine your smug expression right now. Bet you actually did NOT do that to be helpful, it was an act of peeing others off. Proud? What a laugh.

Imagination tends to play 'tricks' .....

Bully-boy tactics have never impressed me ..... this remains a Question and Answer site.

Thank you to all who tried to help. As for the integrity lot, if you are so against seeking help with puzzles why on earth are you logging on to this site in the first place?

[athenae]

Not a question of daring - but, of doing ... and noting a 'green newbie' .....

Personal attacks are against Site Rules ... there are always those who want to impose their idea on others .... well, there is a word that comes to mind - dictatorship

Nowhere are their rules that say which Quizzes should or should not be answered, when and at what time, how much should be answered.

If you do not want to know answers, don't visit this site / or specific questions. Abers are not here to sit in judgement on other Abers .....

Many people do puzzles in groups or with friends etc - all asking and helping each other ....

As regards the specific 'Money Matters quiz ----
more entries gain more money for the charity ....
the prize is going to be paid out in any event ....
more people with the answers will send in more entries ...
seems to be a 'win-win' for the charity.

For some reason I thought this site was based on folk asking questions and other folk answering them. What does it matter if they are quiz questions?

I'd be surprised if every quiz question was set without some reference to the Internet to confirm the accuracy of the answer so why should those answering them not have the same facilities?
