50. There aren't many of them, think of the different servants a king might have.

87. You can't take anything at face value with this quiz. Suggest you look up Colin and see where it leads you.

Many thanks Lady Bee and Violin. Three definitions in that lot I'd never come across before. I have answers for all now. Happy to provide clues.

Back from swimming with younger grandson so now back to the quiz. Thanks to all for clues but still not worked them all out. Still missing on back page are:
(71) - don't think I asked for this last time
(76) anagram? is it bacon + eg (for instance) + what?
(84) have an answer beginning with P - to do with Spain?
(87) looked up Colin - interesting kind of obscene answers!!!! BUT nothing that fits
(90) have tried various odd letters to anagram but haven't come up with a solution.
(100) I reckon the five letter word begins with a Q.... but can't get the rest of it.
Any other clues would be appreciated. Off out this evening to celebrate my other grandson's 13th birthday so may not get back to quiz tonight.
Thanks again to all who have helped so far.

71 Try reversing the first two words for the definition element of the clue
76 It is an anagram, but not the words you mention. Keep looking.
84 Not a P word and not Spanish. Petitioned is the definition.
87 A colin is a particular type of bird (apparently). Wish I had your dictionary though.
90 This is only a partial anagram. Not even = take the odd letters only.
100 The writer is an old-fashioned writing implement. The answer is a slang word for lots.

Been busy for a few days but thanks to Violin and Wilhemina for help with 40 and 41. Have an answer for 47 but not too sure. Any guidance please? Also have an answer for 63 which I think is correct but cannot see where the 4 kings come in! Willing to help with other clues.

Thanks Danl for your help. Have solved those ones apart from the two anagrams, ie 76 and 90. In 76, is Bacon of any significance? Tried all sorts of connotations but no luck! Re no. 87, the obscene remarks weren't in the dictionary but result of a google search!!!!! If I can get these two then that would be the back page complete - hurrah!! But still another 25 on pages 1 and 2!

Haeremai18 Yes Bacon is of significance but not the Bacon as a foodstuff but as a he. I am struggling on 87. Found a word that means lampoon but can't see the significance to ninepins.

Felicity: no 87. Look up Colin as in a bird and think of a game you play on the deck of a ship. Jumble it up and I think it is the answer! Re no 76 - is the Bacon as in Francis? Even if it is I still can't get the anagram.

Felicity: re your previous request for no 63, the answer I gave got was made from The number of King Louis' but may not be right!
