Hmmm. Surely the whole idea of this is to get clues. Year after year we get people being a bit touchy about it. It is no different from discussing it with friends who are also doing it, giving and getting hints. Sorry if I offended you with my reply.

Thanks Winnie, I knew I was getting warmer. Thanks also Jazzgirl - yes I have googled and googled but with no success but will have another look now and hope I am lucky.

Hi Winnie
I have been following this blog for some time. I am a keen fan of the Rainbow Quiz and I think I know the answer to 36 which has been bugging you and a few others. It is a mathematical clue which has nothing at all to do with vegetables. Pi is the sixteenth letter of the Greek Alphabet. The (square) root of 16 is 4. That clue is a water ice. Ends in T. Get It?

Hi maeve, I was right with you up to the last sentence 'get it' !!
Then I looked up ice water in my chambers and found a word ending with T. Brilliant. Thank you very much.
You realise that this answer though has messed up my balance of G's and T's so I am back to the drawing board there !
What does everyone else think of this fresh approach to 36 ?

Thanks Winnie. Now I too have a problem. If my answer to 36 is correct then I have 26 answers ending in T. They all seem sound, but is 69 maybe not dustcart? Nobody has mentioned this one. Is there anyone out there??

Working on 69 now maeve !

Oh Lord. Just so happy to do the collar, thinking I had to make decision on sleuth or vegetable and now I have to look at it completely. I am sure it is a refreshing in between courses ice? Now I must start counting again!

It's all good fun isn't twinsnan !!! ( never was happy with the other two choices for 36.
My G and T counts are wrong now too.

So have I at least a nice clean palate to help me count? Hope so. I thought 69 must be that noisy vehicle which comes round to collect our rubbish....do I have to rethink that now? I want to sort this out before the final of Bake Off!!

Maeve I feel your pain...have counted so many times that I come up with a different total each count. Think I had better eat dinner, get ready for Bake Off (come on Richard!) and then get back to it.
