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

Hi Island Lady.
Just stuck on 9 and 14 now.
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

If you put two and two together you'll get14

Give me a clue for 40 please

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

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

JasperMcEwan
Do you need any more??

He was born in reenascreena , a village near rosscarbery

Thanks Acoustic just need 9 and 40

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

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.

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

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?

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?

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

Thanks JasperMcEwan

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

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.

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

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