Thank you for your help with no 17
havent got 24 either,nobody seems to be able to answer this one at all. The question setter confirms that the answer is definitely 9 letters. Do you think it could be an ANAGRAM?
Have tried making an anagram from it without success,the only anwer I can think of is explosion or radiation, but of course neither of them are actual events, there's always one teaser isn't there ?.
