50 answers end with letter A and 50 begin with letter A. That is how I read it e.g. by my reckoning I have 4 beginning with A to find and 1 ending with A.

So it's not "A jolly, old fellow in the last war "?

Jeez, this quiz is hard work.

squarebear

With all due respect, the film question is incredibly easy

jenniferd

These quizzes come out twice a year and we get 3 months to complete - hence the flak when help is asked for too early. This is the first time ever that I have managed to get to (now) only 4 to go and a month still left to complete. So I was testing the water by asking for clues - but maybe the flak throwers are all at work!!!

squarebear

So what is the clue for 18? Is it about a jolly fellow or the 1998 film?

jenniferd

"a jolly" is another name for a Royal Marine. Next 4 letters are another word for old and the last 3 another word for a university fellow. The clue I gave was for the whole word not the reasoning behind it.

squarebear

Oh sorry. I thought you were telling us the question rather than giving iver a clue.

x-ray

These are cryptic clues and all the answers either begin or end with A
The clues are as iver first descibed them; that is
18. A jolly, old fellow in the last war (10)....first two letters refer to a jolly then a word for old then a word for fellow
22 Write off in a recess (8)...Starts with A, then a type of lock
31. Legal notes made in error about Moriartys assiostant (9)....an anagram of "made" around the name of Moriartys assistant.
It is quite a difficult quiz of 100 questions, I have just about finished it, although uncertain of some of my answers

Moriarty's assisstant was ' Moran'
