3d Anagram of FLOURWHEAT, minus the letters of HEWOUT gives FLRA. The answer is an anagram of this and means a "Scotch cake"
magot is a small grotesque figure
Peqoud was the whaleboat in Moby Dick.

TO turn up GAM - whales = MAGOT
K - can you tell me how the title azed 2010 " a score and a half " ties in with the puzzle please. I see 2010 as score(20) and half a score (10) but no more??
Hi

I'm bemused too.

The number of the puzzle is 2010 which is a score and a half, and is set in 2010 - but if this is 'a coming of age' I doubt.

Regards.
I have 'iridosmine ' as the answer to 4 down. I thought it should be an anagram but there's an 'i' for an 'n'. Any ideas why?
that is the link though as confirmed by first letters of each clue in order.
Thanks bellabee.

I just knew there had to be more to it than the 2010.
Question Author
Thanks for the answer to my 2 clues.

Iridosmine is the anagram after you replace n with i.
Give point (N) for writer (I).
Ah, thank you. Finished it, though. Now to thing up a clue.
but 4d is 10 letters not nine-also how does magot 3d tie up with earlier reference to joss?
9a is Soja ...A JOS(s) <

4d is 10 letters and is an anagram of 'Eros in mind' changing N (point) for i (writer)
