    Please tell me you're joking. Stuck on 1. What currency do you use? I gave clue early on for 14. Detectives solve crimes by doing this. Mathematicians get 4 when they do it.

    I'm now stuck on 9 and 40

    Don't think it's earlier suggested answers (just a hunch)

    Sorry, that was supposed to be 9 and 14. I think I should have gave up if I didn't get 1. Sorry

    So which one is it or does it matter. Rosscarbery seems to be the most common one when you look him up

    Ah you're right Island Lady Thanks.

    Brilliant! Thank you. That makes sense. Looking at it now, I don't know how I didn't cop it when it's so similar to number 60.

    Anyone have any ideas for 9?

    That popped into my head. It just doesn't seem right though.

    I wonder is it related to 40 and 60? One event of the c....? No?

    Honestly, I don't think it is related.
    I just saw on a website that it is "1 Eye on the Cyclops".
    So scrap that idea, I think

    It's a good guess. Best one we've had so far I think.

    Can anyone give me a hint for 16 (W 32) and 58 (20 Y by the F and W) please? Also is number 59 (3S of a T) something to do with a shape? I have an answer but not sure of it.
