Hi Haeremai18 . I also have a P word - probably the same
one you have but I can't figure out where the sheepskin

comes in ? P. :-)

Hi Polly Dee. The word I have beginning with P is made up partly of some of the letters in sheepskin...... "in part in sheepskin". That's how I have worked it out but who knows if it is correct!!!

Quizmad re your clue for 73. Is it Dickens as in Charles
or dickens as in' what the Dickens.' please.
I am grateful but still confused.
re question 34. Look up sheepskin in chambers dict.
edition 10 to see what can be made from sheepskin.
The rest of the clue will become clear.

Thanks, Winnie - I only need numbers 19 and 97 now. I have answers for both but am not sure about the accuracy of 97. It looks fairly obvious, but the pronunciation of the answer doesn't seem to fit the clue exactly. Any thoughts?

Hi dougglos re 97.
2letters for mother + alternative spelling, sounding like cakes, result = type of monkey.
Hope that helps.
Help with 100 and 73 would be much appreciated.

Yes, thanks winnie - that's what I thought, but still don't think much of the clue, as cakes are pronounce cakes!! Still, it is fairly obvious otherwise. (100) Look up words for very large numbers, millions, billions, etc., especially unspecified ones, and then remember the rules of the competition! (73) Dickens is right, but just use the first word of the clue in connection with education! Come back if you still need more.
