[panofsky]

Thank you, kayakamina. I thought it was a bit odd to have virtually the same answers to 6a and 27a!

[bamberger]

Yes i thought 6a was "naked" being a hidden word -don't what 6a is now.

[kayakamina]

6a Mambo

[bamberger]

But if a snake is a mamba and I put nothing "O" on the end, don't I end up with mambao? How do I lose the a? Thanks

[kayakamina]

I took it that the clue should read 'Having nothing on end for a snake dance'
i.e O for A
