2 Black Beauty

Is no 1 correct? It would make more sense to be 267.

4. The Quiet American

[Toorak]

Is the word count for 5 correct? I can see water babies - water (hijklo - h to (two) o) babies (relationship of tadpoles to frogs)?

Hello Folks
Thank you....indeed I feel that number 1 should be 267...The BFG? maybe the setter has made a bloomer?? I also thought Black Beauty for number 2 but needed someone else to think the same...and indeed I have checked the word count for number 5 and it is 5,6....SO sorry - Water Babies seems great....just now stuck on number 3...you've all
been great!
