36 Ro(o)mania

[Jackdaw33]

65 Where the Pope lives.

[JJ109]

60 Bo snia

[JJ109]

oops sorry I didn't notice you wanted clues!

[JJ109]

61. not sure - the country just North of Singapore, but although I see the short illness I don't see the "unknown" factor!

[Jackdaw33]

You are right. Y is the unknown factor.

[JJ109]

Yes - it is an anagram of the illness (- the last letter, "short") + a Y

[JJ109]

Thanks Jackdaw, just saw it myself! I was doing a "sounds" like using the Y, rather than an anagram!

[Davemano]

31 One after a drawn game.

[Jackdaw33]

^^ Sounds like...

[Davemano]

^^ Yep - missed that

[AnyThoughts]

60 Cyprus? See (Ian) Prowse??
61 Malaysia
44 probably refers to the hoard of Tudor coins
So could be Normandy

[Jackdaw33]

Normandy is not a country.

[JJ109]

60 parsed as
Bo (peep who lost her shee) + anagram Ian's

[snailranch]

Thanks for the help still can't get 31 and 44. Also. unsure if my answer to 67 is correct - I have TARTARY

[smouse]

This is a freebie beat the boredom quiz if you send it in with blanks he will tell you the answers

[JJ109]

31 Used to be called Formosa. The new name sounds like a draw (evens) plus one

What is the clue for 67? (tartary is not a country!)

[Mamyalynne]

67 Add up a crazy rodent 7

Mathematical problem + A + anag, of a rodent.

[JJ109]

Thanks Mamya - I presume from that, the quiz consists of both countries and large islands, as that answer is not a country!

I shall now try and think of islands for number 44!

[Davemano]

44 Tom Hanks was 'Castaway' on an uninhabited island M??????? in the film. Previously unnamed it was given the 'M' name and is now an attraction for Hoards of tourists.
Assuming that islands are accepted
