    Acoustic guitar thanks
    Do you still need the answers to the numbers you asked for ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar


    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

    Not sure about my answer for 48

    9. 1 eye of the cyclops or 1 edge of the circle ?????

    14: put 2 and 2 together


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    If you put two and two together you'll get14

    Is 48: Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, born Rosscarbery 10/9/1831`(not too sure of my answer)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    I think you'll find he was born in Roscarberry. Where's Reenascreena?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    Thanks Acoustic just need 9 and 40


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,597 ✭✭✭Totofan99


    I'm also stuck on 9 and 40. Clues would be appreciated.

    I can help anyone else with any of the rest of them. PM me if you want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar


    I'm nearly sure that 40 is 5 Events in the Pentathlon.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    Ah you're right Island Lady Thanks.
    Worked in Skibbereen in the 1980s and always heard he was born in Rosscarbery
    Thanks nearly made a big mistake there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,597 ✭✭✭Totofan99


    I'm nearly sure that 40 is 5 Events in the Pentathlon.

    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?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    Yep I think that's right Acoustic. Should have got it. Got the Decathlon one. Thanks.

    just need no. 9 1 E of the C

    Don't forget to change Rosscarbery to Reenascreena


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar


    9. 1 eye of the cyclops????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,597 ✭✭✭Totofan99


    9. 1 eye of the cyclops????

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar


    Thanks JasperMcEwan

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    I'm a bit iffy about that answer Shouldn't it read

    1 eye of a cyclops

    Yes, you are right as seen on www .braingle.com/brainteasers/teaser.php?op=2&id=109&comm=1.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar


    Anyone have any notions for number 9. I am wracking my brains. It's my last one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44 JasperMcEwan


    Mine too. Probably kick ourselves when we hear it. Lucky no. 1 wasn't your last one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 acoustic guitar

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4 Corkman21


    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.
