Hello Zak, I take it you are new on here. It is a good idea to give the clues, together with any letters you have in the format???????with letters you know instead of the question marks. Then people who don't have the quiz stand a chance of helping you. Good luck!!

Hi bimbo123456- I think zak21 has given the clue for no 27 as "25-1". I don't think it's a crossword so no letters are known.
Answer could be OUTSIDER or LONGSHOT.
zak21- is there a theme to this quiz?

[quinie]

Are the answers names of countries?

[factor-fiction]

If countries then it could be one of these:
Anguilla
Barbados
Botswana
Bulgaria
Cambodia
Cameroon
Colombia
Djibouti
Dominica
Ethiopia
Honduras
Kiribati
Malaysia
Maldives
Mongolia
Pakistan
Paraguay
Portugal
Scotland
Slovakia
Slovenia
Sri Lanka
Suriname
Tanzania
Thailand
Zimbabwe

However none seems to relate to the 25-1 clue

[factor-fiction]

I don't follow that, lizzie.
Do we need to know the answer to the 'type of pasta' question? Are you saying that answer will rhyme with the answer to the 25-2 clue?

[factor-fiction]

Sorry, your name is zac not lizzie!

[zak21]

What a mess I've made of this.
OHIOWA IS unite states and Rock Vand who were in a bad way is Dire Straits BUT
No 27a Type of pasta (8)
to rhyme with 27b 25-1 (8)a

[TheWinner]

I was thinking of Macaroni and Pony ?

[factor-fiction]

Yes, £25 is called a 'pony'

[zak21]

You are all being very helpful.
I now need to know
27a Type of pasta (8)
which has to rhyme with
27b 25-1 (8)
Help !!!!

[factor-fiction]

macaroni and something to do with pony and betting odds (backapony?!!)

[Valanne]

Pasta could be rigatoni,
the slang name for betting odds of 25 - 1 is macaroni.
(A bit strange they're both pasta!)

[zak21]

thank you all so much.
