Quizzer 01 Yes that's what I ended up with as well. Sending it off now, enough! Can't wait to see what they have for us in May 2012!! Gluttons for punishment aren't we? As much as they give us headaches, sleepless nights and all the rest of it we all still love doing them, the best quizzes around.

Sorry if I've missed anything relating to what I'm going to ask but... before I go completely mad, is there any help out there for number 4: Great Composer? Hear Hear! (5). It's the only one I haven't solved on the first page.

Hi cryptonovice
4. The great composer hear hearwhat you do to hear shortened
Twinsman and Quizzer01
I also have 15, 17 and 18....looks as if we've got it right !!!
Great quizzes these Rainbow Quizzes, really enjoyable.
Thanks everybody on this thread for all the help and kind regards - couldn't have done it without your additional clues.
Good luck all

Sorry crypticnovice, my spelling not good.
Clue for No.4 not too clear either....name begins with L

I have all but finished but am very confused about the clues given to number 13 - I know this is probably the one I need to change to get the 50/50 split. I cannot understand why the 'pianist' should be the answer. Please can someone explain ? I have 'minstrel' which seems to follow the clue precisely !!!

Hi Polly Dee
I had minstrel to start with but have changed it to answer beginning with L.
This entertainer was a pianist and great showman in the fifties

13, Minstrel doesn't really explain all the clue. Story = another word for fib. Initial letter for Black and a word for people and the whole is the entertainer.

Thanks guys - worked out No 13 so that means have the correct amount beginning with L on pages 1 and 3 but still need to alter one on page 2. There have been queries about 37 and 43 - I have them both ending in L. Does anyone think either of them start with L?

Just a thought if anyone can help please? On p2 the following words of mine end with L - they are nos 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 49, 54, 56, 57, 60, 63 and 65. The rest of mine begin with L. Out of the numbers given can anyone please hint if there is one which should start with L?

Hello All. I would like a clue to 34 and 54. Know both end with L
34. Run! Bigcat is alongside Virginia Lambert, a large boisterous woman. (9)
54. One and the other in fine fettle. Queen's husband found. (8)
