Time's running out, and I could do with some suggestions please for: Clue 28 He opened a new casino but was master of this Clue 79 Joseph and selected sons carried this coin in the pocket of a new coat. And I,m not positive about answers re;No.10 :Gordon Brown No: 82 Golden Handshake or Parachute ? No 95 Asses ? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

These are the answers I gave - others may think differently!

28 Think 'Gravity', then 'Llantrisant'...
79 Hidden in the clue...
10 I agreed (From 11 to 10 ...)
82 Once you've removed 4 letters from the clue, you'll see which is right...
95 I agreed - 'asses' is plural for 'as', a Roman coin

hiya

I have sent mine in .....

28) question seems wrongly worded?

79) hidden in the words 'Joseph and selected sons' is the answer .... meaning 'a coin in the pocket of a new coat'

10) ok

82) I think that was the answer .... can't remember the question?

95) ok

No 82 is (6,9) so nothing to do with parachute

[johnalex]

Your last three are correct (forget Parachute):

10. He recently moved here from the next number.
( . . . so what number is after 10 Downing St ?)

82. Hang on Den!
(. . . anagram + shake )

95. The fools just failed to make estimate.
(. . . fools/asses; estimate/assess)

Hope this helps. ja

82. Correction . . . . Clue should read 'Hang old Den!'

[athenae]

28) the question should read .... AT NEW CASINO

anagram this for the name of very famous English mathematician and scientist who lived 1642-1727.

look at his biograpghy (online) for one of the jobs that he held .... Master of the R. M.
