    Struggling. All I see is numbers of participants in something and can't shake that from my mind, to clear space for other options.




    Head!! For the love of God, just your head!!! :D:D:D


    Not participant related, no.

    That's not the point. Tell me if and when you want to give up as nobody else seems to be attempting this one.

    Correct. In one case the laureate had, unknown to the adjudicators, died three days before the award. In the other three cases death occurred between the award and the presentation. The original rule was that prizes could be given only to living people, but the rule was amended to accomodate the foregoing.

    Your question?

    Music?
    Hasten might be accelerando
    More might be pianoforte
    Solo is solo or perhaps a cadenze

    Totally lost on the next two so that's probably where my weak guess fails.

    Pink Floyd, The Wall as first album?!?!!?

    Defiantly not a list of first albums. Perhaps biggest selling ones? Naa, wait, DSOTM would have been a bigger seller I'm guessing.

    Well its a kind of gelatine isn't it? Though I didn't realise it was a food preservative, just a tasty glaze/jelly thing. I suppose that would keep air off the meat but I wouldn't like to rely on it!

    Venice? Unless you're thinking of that city in Asia (can't remember where precisely) where everything is done on water, and all the market "stalls" are on boats.
