@geting
I was very surprised that your lovely clue didn't get any other votes!

Multiple thanks to Buddy, Tyke, Sam, Geting and Paul for your votes.
Thanks also to Spike for the challenge and my prizes. As a child, I dreamed of being an archaeologist, but thought there may be limited career opportunities in Au. I'll see if I can dig up any more info on the Gympie pyramid - an intriguing story.
Till next week ...

Congrats Mattrom and thanks Spike.

(I thought 'Danish queen' was an indirect anagram, so didn’t give it a vote, but have just copped that Buddy voted for it, so it must be OK - I really am confused and do have a lot to learn).

Thanks Amej for the vote and Geeker for the 'votes' - much appreciated.

Geting’s was also a favourite of mine - between Chris’s post and Geeker’s; should voting on PR be as WPR?

I can’t made head nor tail of the clips - all I get is someone teaching the number 20. Is is an Apple/Microsoft issue?

congrats mattrom & thanks to spike and voters.

Raffles, the clue is not an anagram, its a charade of Prince (P) + (MARY + DI), both reversed Since MARY is not anagrammed, it works.

Not to pick on sam 38 but here goes anyway:

Quietly several rebuild ancient tomb (7)

This is an indirect anagram because first you have to find a word meaning "several" (MYRIAD), and then anagram that word. As the links I posted note, there are many, many words meaning "several" and it's viewed as unfair to the solver to have to choose which one to anagram.

Spike, the site tinyurl.com (link shortener) often helps in these situations. Hope this helps and mattrom notices.

I got the following:
