Cryptic - Lovatts

[MdM69]

Thank you for all who have assisted. Only one clue remains, which was not answered:

• Thrive when five becomes a hundred times three (6) ?h?i?e

[mazie]

thrice...but I'm cr*p at cryptics

[geo0939]

Just pipped me maizie

[mazie]

Was it right?

I dont understand why though <hangs head in shame>

[gillwil]

the v in thrive is the roman numeral for five

so change it for c which is a hundred in roman numerals

times three = thrice

hope this helps Mazie

[mac44]

Using roman numerals take the v(5) out of thrive and insert c(hundred)

[mac44]

I'll have to learn to type faster gillwil.

[mazie]

Thank you both, but I still think I will always be a dimwit when it comes to cryptic crosswords :o(

I do try everyday and fail consistenly

[mazie]

with a "t" of course

[mac44]

Don't put yourself down mazie, you were right in the first place.

[mazie]

thanks Mac, only because it looked obvious, I had no idea why

[Nickynoodles]

Just a guess - could it be THRICE?
