[Hypognosis]

regarding 1d,

obviously vehicle=car but did anyone see a decent explanation of how 'hurry back round' equates to 'estate'?

[Valanne]

1d say = state, hurry back is race backwards, round state gives e state car

[ljdksa]

I think, "say" = state
"hurry back" = ecar (race backwards)

Put "ecar" around "state" and that gives you the "vehicle" part.
