I have a question boleyn. Question 31. two boys names fit this clue. will either do?

[Mamyalynne]

Good point!

[mazie]

Hi Mamya xxx you recovered after the quiz night? I was like a Zombie the following Saturday :o)

[Mamyalynne]

Mazie I am in a permanent state of recovery dear, it's a wonder I am allowed out.

[mazie]

Snap Mamya....they don't let me out of the Attic :o(

[sadielady]

mazie If you look at the first page it says "half marks will be given at the judge's discretion for near misses (or bad spelling)" so I suppose you just have to hope your right (I do that with every quiz I think)

[mazie]

Hi Barb...thanks for that. I didnt read the first page (blushes) But, 2 names actually fit the clue, so either could be correct.

[sadielady]

Hate it when you get a question and answer like that, always manage to choose the wrong one!

Have printed the quiz off but havent had a chance to look at it yet

[mazie]

have a look at question 31 barb and see if you agree with me... (thanks x)

[squarebear]

I agree with you Mazie about question 31. Two names are perfectly valid.

[sadielady]

I do agree

[Touchstone]

Hi mazie - I know I'm not barb but I totally agree with you - I did a double take - it's obviously an anagram of lone and I've come up with 2 answers too. Think if I ever get anywhere near finishing it I'll submit both but that is highly unlikely as I've become completely stuck but do hope that you and the others are cracking it. Good fun trying though.

[sadielady]

When I get stuck I leave it for a few days then go back to it, usually works, after all not due in for a while. Think sometimes you can look to hard. Good luck anyway
