I don't play poker so I don't know but...

Three of a Kind - Three cards of the same rank and two cards of different ranks - for example 7-7-7-10-6. This is sometimes known as a triplet or trips.

54A Cannot figure this out. Are the dutch the new black????. Is it Orange.

dxhound2005 · 31-12-2016 05:54PM

Yes, Orange.

The Netflix series is called "Orange is the New Black" because it is based off of a memoir by Piper Kerman called Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison. As the other answers have said, "the new black" is an idiom of sorts in fashion, because wearing black is fashionable (black goes with everything).

dxhound2005 · 01-01-2017 03:01PM

It could be Michael Ryan, the Tipperary hurling manager, with Tipp being known as the Premier County.

leitrimexile · 01-01-2017 03:24PM

Just 13 and 29 down and 50 d

Thanks Dxhoud2005 For the answer Orange. Not a Netflix fan myself.

laoisman2016 · 01-01-2017 06:56PM

Evening,

Just need one more answer to finish this off.

71 A (Keep this warm until you're needed)

Thought it was "tenth" then seen there's a cycling term called "senth"

If anyone needs solutions I'll throw them out don't hesitate to ask

Thanks in advance!

dxhound2005 · 01-01-2017 07:06PM

I haven't got the crossword, but it must be Bench.

laoisman2016 · 01-01-2017 07:07PM
