Mail On Sunday Prize Crossword

[chamberla1n]

Can anyone confirm how many times the letter "Y" appears in the £5000 Mixed Crossword solution? This is the I Spy portion of the Prize Jumbo Crossword.

[Kulatron]

That would not help you as they want the number of "I" not "Y" letters.

[Lie-in King]

You're being asked for the number of times 'i' appears - I made it 39

[Captain2]

If you want someone to 'confirm' the number, don't you have to state your number first?

[Lie-in King]

Good point, Cap - perhaps someone will confirm my number :-)

[Captain2]

eerrr don't hold your breath LiK ;-))

[chamberla1n]

Sorry my eyesight is dreadful. Thank you for your help.

[Lie-in King]

You're welcome & good luck :-)

[Baldric]

Bit late (or is it early?) in the day, just finished it, I have 39 x I.

[cupid04]

Is that a kiss for Loin king from Baldric I see ;-)

[Baldric]

Hey stupid cupid stop picking on me!

[The_Necromancer]

You're actually supposed to be looking for I (indigo), not Y (yankee). But to those of us of a certain age the singular apostophies (quotes) either side of the I do rather make it resemble a Y , viz: 'I'.

I counted 39 (THIRTY-NINE) of the letter i.

[Mamyalynne]

All are agreed then.

[The_Necromancer]

Ah well I take comfort that I'm not the only one with dodgy witts about me this bank holiday weekender as Cupid04 has wended a kiss in the way of the LOIN King. Is such smut even permitted on here - too kiss a lion in the loins seems a bit strong ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

I agree, we are heading towards a den of iniquity.

[Lie-in King]

Nothing iniquitous about this lion's den!

Anyhoo, I'm ok with it as long as there are no tongues...

[Mamyalynne]

Oooh I say - don't give her any ideas.

[cupid04]

Lol! never meant to cause such a stir, honest!
