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

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

JasperMcEwan

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

JasperMcEwan
Do you need any more??

Island lady

He was born in reenascreena , a village near rosscarbery

JasperMcEwan

Thanks Acoustic just need 9 and 40

acoustic guitar

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

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.

acoustic guitar

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

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.

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?

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

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?

acoustic guitar

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

acoustic guitar

Thanks JasperMcEwan

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

JasperMcEwan

1 eye of a cyclops

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

acoustic guitar

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

JasperMcEwan

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

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.
