Not sure if it's correct, The Winner. Has anyone else any ideas??

[TheWinner]

elliemay1, I answered on both threads, this one and yours.
I do think that you have it with reference book, as it fits better.

[elliemay1]

Oh, thanks, The Winner. Saw your other answer now. There's one more that hasn't been solved yet, as far as I know.

"Tour around jump with humped back." Any ideas??

[TheWinner]

Oh, that sounds a hard one, I will have to have time to think.

[elliemay1]

Please do, as I've been trying to get a solution for days now!

[elliemay1]

Have you come up with anything yet, The Winner??

[Mamyalynne]

Well I am sure everyone will be keen to know the answer to 34 , when the solution is in - a real stinker.

[TheWinner]

sorry elliemay1, have been out all day again and only just back. Haven't had time to work on it, but will have a think tonight if I get chance.

[elliemay1]

Ok, The Winner. Thanks.

[TheWinner]

Well I have thought long and hard over number 34.
I can get close, but not solve it completely.
If I give you my thoughts so far, it may prompt someone else to get it.

I thought the answer might be FIRST CHAPTER.

my workings out were: write down "first chapter" then cross out each letter that corresponds with the clues.
Tour = TRIP
Jump = ? (for now)
Hump = ARCH
that leaves the letters STEF (which, if they read STEP would correspond with Jump.

if you did it exactly the same but like this,
Tour = ? (for now)
Jump = STEP
Hump = ARCH
it leaves the letters TRIF (which if it was TRIP it would solve the clue Tour.

Comments are very welcome.

[Mamyalynne]

An awful lot of working out there and possibly a little too complicated.Bu well done!

To save more agonising I will say that the closing date is tomorrow, so we shall have to wait and see what the correct answer is.

[Mamyalynne]

^but

[TheWinner]

thanks for that mamyalynne. Let's hope we get to know the answer.

I never got an answer for that other one no-one could get on the sweets quiz, "super large areas". Did you get an answer?

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think I did that one, so cannot help you.

[TheWinner]

I didn't do it either, I was only helping someone to try and solve it.

[Mamyalynne]

ah remember it now, hmmmmmmmmmm.

[Mamyalynne]

For anyone still interested, I got my marked quiz back today

34.Tour around jump with humped back.

Travel Book

all a matter of pronunciation

Book/Buck - to hump your back and jump as is a bucking bronco.

[elliemay1]

Thanks for that, Mamyalynne. I had suggested Travel something. Don't really think it was a good clue. Was the answer to "Character assessment male animal" Reference Book?

[Mamyalynne]

Yes it was.
