Can anyone help with 3dn: ?e?s?s. I think it must be "lenses" but I don't see why.

Isn't 1dn one of the best clues ever?

I don't know! What is it!

And what's the clue for 3d?

Come on Chris, give us a clue......or clues!

Sorry - I am new at this and assumed that only Guardian solvers would respond!
3dn: Perhaps contacts the French about nuclear antagonists (6) I have ?e?s?s
1dn: Like Knox, perhaps, pair find the Ultimate Answer (5-3)

Knox is a Fort so , "Forty" + two (pair) gives "forty two" - ultimate answer for Douglas Adams in Hitchhiker's etc?

Lenses looks OK. French the = le, NS = Nuclear ship, and I am guessing the antagonists are bridge players East and South? Not 100% sure of my reasoning, though!

Agree with lenses.
Perhaps contacts (lenses)
The french= le
nuclear=n
ses= http://www.opm.gov/fedcdp/agencies/nrc.asp

By the way Chris,
Welcome aboard! It's always best to give the full clue and any letters you have.

After further thought, we reckoned "les" for "the" French, including "n" for nuclear and "se" for South and East at bridge.
Thanks for your welcome, Bernie.
