5d Numbers obsessive thus enters guess, oddly(10):
AN???E????
23a They aren't classical ways to protect servicemen(7):
??D??N?
29a Force in Ireland keeping jerk in government(8):
P?L?????
Thanks for any help!

5d. Think of numbers as "things that numb" rather than what we use for counting.

23a. " they aren't classical" is the definition. A word for "ways" around an abbreviation for servicemen.

29a. A word for the Irish police force around a word for " jerk". The whole is a synonym for the government's work.

Thanks for the hints! These are still outstanding:
35A Called for part of egg with frown(5): S??E?
38A Poet's ways in, poet said(5): ?AT??
41A Rotters holding subdued audits(8): ?Y??E???

Thanks for your assistance!

Hi Lecrack

35a Unfortunately both you letters are wrong

Answer begins gl

Sounds like a part of an egg (that I had to check) and is a synonym for frown


38a sounds like a poet beginning with Y and is an old poetic word for gates

41a- your y is wrong

There is a p hidden in a word for rotters- which gives you a word for audits or checks.

The answer begins with i

Hope this helps
