    They're blacked out so people who don't want to see them don't have to. Just highlight the blacked out area with your mouse and the answers will show.

    I'm finished the Diffney but have my doubts about no. 46 most people seem to think it is
    8 legs of a spider
    but shouldn't that be 'on a' instead of 'of a' ?
    does anyone have any other suggestions? I can help with the answers to the rest if that helps.

    Thanks

    Towzer, Still not happy with No. 46 being 8 legs of a spider. Would have thought it was 8 legs on a spider. What did you fill in for it?
