To help with number 79, the answer begins with Sh or Si

[Gill1941]

This quiz is no asking on the internet.

[eebygum]

Sorry, I'd covered my spare answer sheet in so much scribble, I didn't see it. I only looked at the end page. Apologies again, genuine mistake.

79. I'd have guessed Nan (hidden). ???

I sent mine in with a blank for Qu 79. Does TheWinner think it is clever and fair giving answers to a no asking quiz when some of us stick to the quiz rules?

[TheWinner]

no details were given of closing date etc, so take that up with eebygum.

This is a question and answer site and I'd come back to it after being out all day and hadn't scrolled the answers.

[Captain2]

The closing date is given in the title, TheWinner. :))

[TheWinner]

I meant that no details were given as it being a no asking quiz.

[TheWinner]

I might not even be right, and that would be even better!

[eebygum]

I sent it in without answering number 79, so I didn't get help on here with that one. Also it is very close to the closing date, but I should have taken more note re no asking.

[Gill1941]

I think lots of people will be sending it in with No. 79 blank - including me.

79 Skimbleshanks

Thanks for ruining it for everyone who has abided by the setters ruling! This clue will obviously, be the deciding factor for the winner.

[Tilly2]

I was actually trying to help.

Posters will sometimes "forget" to mention that a quiz is a "no asking" one, hoping that some well meaning contributor will give the answer to a question.
