[Goofy]

I don't want the answer - I don't even want a clue. BUT has anyone done 72?
I have no ideas at all and wondered if it was just me!

[Quizmonkey]

Yep - one of the first I got. Just proves different people find different things easy/hard...

[crofter]

Yes, I've done it Goofy and there must be others!

I see nothing wrong in telling you that

[Goofy]

rats!
or perhaps it will give me hope - who knows. Anyway I'm now 1/2 way through - decided to get 2 a day then stop!

[gen2]

I too got it on my first run through, but Goofy, I expect you have many that I don't have yet.

[juliefer]

I haven't got the quiz with me at the moment, Goofy, so I'm not sure whether or not I've got the answer for 72.

As quizmonkey says, people find different questions hard and easy. It doesn't matter if you haven't got as many answers as some other people yet. Doing the Rainbow quiz is a marathon, not a sprint, so just carry on going at the pace you feel happy with and enjoy it.

[Goofy]

oh I am enjoying juliefer - only wish my oh did so I'd have someone to bounce ideas off.

[juliefer]

Hi, Goofy,

I know what you mean. It's nice to get someone else's about your ideas. But, looking on the positive side, you can get more of a sense of achievement when you get the tricky ones by yourself. And, on a really positive note, if you win - and you've as much chance as anyone else - you'll be able to spend all the winnings on yourself as well with a clear conscience!

I'm not giving you a clue but I've now had a look and, yes, I had got 72 as well. I was thinking about one of the other clues whilst doing something else when something about one of the words in 72's clue popped into my head and the rest just followed. Maybe you could try that and let the answer sneak up on you, as it were. Good luck anyway.

[juliefer]

Sorry, the first line above should be 'someone else's thoughts about'.

Doing this quiz is definitely addling my brain.

Hiya Goofy,

I'm now down to the last two clues! Nos 46 (Fiery Fred) and 81 (Race around). I've never in the past got so far so quickly! I feel quite chufffed!

[Goofy]

well done crofter. I have an idea for the race, but am not convinced. However I have decided to take a 'holiday' and not try for a couple of weeks - maybe sleeping on them will help!

[crofter]

I too have an idea for No 81 - but it seems so weak when compared to others!

[Goofy]

yes I think my ansewr is nor fight. Still.
I too have never got t his far this quickly - probably getting tuned in.
Good lunkk with the last 2.

[teacher1]

I've got answers for 72 and 81 but not 100% sure about them !

[crofter]

Well done teacher1 - I'll keep on pondering but no doubt these two clues will appear (much) later on!

[pepperwalker]

72 is one of those really clever clues Rainbow is known for. When you get it you will be sure its correct because its so cleverly arranged.

[Goofy]

nice one pepperwalker!
In fact got them all now, and have sent it off.

[pepperwalker]

Any chance of a clue for 28, 75 or 81?

Just clues, not answers.

And 67 I'm pretty sure I've got the first half but can't think of a word meaning "continue tediously" for the second half - or am I on the wrong track with this one?

[razza]

Pepperwalker. Post your own questions or all the answers will go to the inbox of Goofy.

[Goofy]

67) continue tediously is 2 words (4,2)

28) words alice is an anagram of an author - it's that book you want

75) sly is a nickname for an actor, then one of his characters plus a letter in front of it.

81) race as in people round the word at

goodluck

[Goofy]
