[rodders12]

thanks - one down two to go

[scorpiojo]

Sharks is parsed on QPQ's link^

[rodders12]

thanks again - one left - I thought OPAL in SA ..........O but don't se the hollow or the extra O

[scorpiojo]

Me neither, rodders :(

[rodders12]

perhaps OPAL with an O in it is OPAL with a hole in it thus its hollow but that is a bit of a stretch

[scorpiojo]

Mamya..........

[scorpiojo]

S(outh) A(merica) + opal + o(hollow) + o(r at first)

[Mamyalynne]

I'm not even playing with this one - it isn't even spelled correctly.

[scorpiojo]

:o)))

[rodders12]

You are right Mamy it should be SAO PAULO - but that doesn't fit - perhaps the setter had a wobblie ?

[Mamyalynne]

Well maybe he did, I didn't enjoy the puzzle this week - lost patience with him.

[boyo6]

It's OPAL and it's hollow so it has nothing (0) in it, hence OPOAL.

[scorpiojo]

..plus another O from O(r at first)^^

[rodders12]

but that gives you sao poalo which is the wrong spelling again

[Mamyalynne]

Or the correct spelling if you are Italian as I have been told elsewhere - I'm not though.

[rodders12]

or sao paolo which fits but wrong spelling again

[scorpiojo]

I've gone for Sao Paolo, is that not correct?

[Mamyalynne]

It has to be.
