Hockey Nut - Is 'Synagog (sp?) Leader' the FULL question? I seem to remember this from one of the crosswords last weekend, but can't remember the answer - but it wasn't Hazzan !! Do you have any of the letters?

[shaneystar2]

Perhaps it's a Chazan or a Cantor then .
Only trying to help .

[kettledrum]

Sorry, Shaneystar: I wasn't meaning to be rude, and of course I know you were trying to help. But sadly Hockey Nut wasn't giving us enough to come up with the correct answer ..... and I only remembered enough to know what it wasn't!!

It is a great quiz and plenty of time to go
Still wading through it but can anyone tell me if 95 is Jupiter and if so why!!

[kettledrum]

Yes, Smouse - it is Jupiter. Jove is another name for Jupiter.

Thanks a lot
