The Learning Curve

[iver]

Qn 64 defeats me . 'Proclaim and declaim in the chair.' Hints appreciated.

[naomi24]

Look for another word for 'Proclaim' and you're half way there.

[fiction-factory]

What happened to all the pies at uni?

[dannyk13]

Pro(claim)????

[fiction-factory]

sorry naomi- crossed posts, but we clearly have the same answer in mind

[naomi24]

I think so.

[jenniferd]

The old brain is still not with it - esp all the pies at uni!!!

[Mamyalynne]

you need two synonyms for first and third word.

Plum - "or" + what Cicero did

[dannyk13]

state + speechify

[jenniferd]

64 is still defeating me. Know that Cicero was an orator hence dannyk's speechify clue but can't work out what jj109 meant by plum.
Sorry to be so thick!!!

[naomi24]

JJ109 - Cluedo.

[elliemay1]

Think Cluedo

[jim360]

I think JJ is referring to a character in a board game.

[elliemay1]

Sorry naomi, didn't see you when I posted

[Flonska]

In the library might be somewhat academic?

[jenniferd]

Thank you all. Have finally twigged but needed the Cluedo bit!!

[dannyk13]

A truncated university lecturer.

[jenniferd]

Hope I have got it right dannyk as my professor isn't truncated.
He's in full with ATE after!!!

[dannyk13]

Professorate -Profess(proclaim) + orate (declaim)

[jenniferd]

Thanks dannyk - that's what I've got.
