Hi, JimC almost had it. ROMA - MCMLX was on the official poster for the Olympic Games in Rome.

Regards,

Hi, I'm doing this quiz too and struggling with this clue. Your answer ROMA - MCMLX but I'm not sure where the Xylophones come in????
Also - A car part for the whole of 1960. Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.

Hi Jools.

The MCMLX comes from the initial letters of the last 5 words of the clue: "... made classical music like xylophones". The only purpose of the word 'xylophones' in the clue is to provide the 'X'.

Repeating my previous post to avoid losing it under the advert banner ...

Thanks Jimc - I've got it now.

I dont supose you can throw any light on the other clue??? :-))

Hi again Jools.

Sorry. No great ideas for your clue.

Maybe "Universal joint" or were people not
all high until later that decade ??

or maybe "Rocker arms/cover" - something there
about rock & roll ??

In the process of thinking about this clue, I
looked at answerbank. Are you the JimJools there?

Hi Jim

Yes that's me. I found this site while searching so thought I'd give it a go. Who are you on there?

Thanks for the Ideas I'll have another look. :-))

I'm afraid that I'm not anyone on answerbank. I just thought I'd look there for an answer for you.

or maybe BUMPER (as in, 1960 was a bumper year) ??

yes I like Bumper - although can't quite tie it in with 'whole of 1960' I think it's the closest I've got to the clue so I'm going with that. Thanks Jim

Now, I also have - A year from a new order. so far I've got '1965' the year of the New Order in Indonesia. I'm still not convinced though?? Don't suppose you have any thought on that???
