46 is the wrong one then.....My friend had worked that out and told me how so she was wrong. She thought seedling...seed for birds and ling for plant. I didn't think it was correct at the time. Will sort that one out then I should have equal G and T. 1.15 am, good job I don't need much sleep!

Hi Anotheray
Please explain your reasoning for 36. Where do you get the first four letters from? 'Get to' surely does not mean that. I know your answer is a root vegetable but I just cannot figure it out.
I have checked in Chambers and there is no entry for 'get to'.

Thanks for clearing up the wrong number of letters with the literary giants!
Do you think that Time Trial is correct for the cycling event?

My reasoning for 36 is simply if you turn IP you get PI however, you've got me thinking again.
Root doesn't necessarily relate to Square root

I've got 2 left - 1 starting with a T and 1 with a G
21 and 73

Any hints would be much appreciated.

You're left with two quite easy ones.

21. Nursery rhyme/story character usually found with 3 bears

73. anagram of two winters - the answer just seems to jump out. That last bit is not a clue just an observation.

Thanks ladybee.
Might have been easy for you, but not for me. But obvious when you know the answer.

Very pleased not to have to re-think as I've got my G2&Ts correct (but could still be some errors in there somewhere!)

Thank you for your explanation, but I am still not convinced. According to Chambers root in maths means 'the factor of a quantity which, taken so many times, produces that quantity'. Pi = 16 therefore the root is 4 and that clue is 'water ice'. I rest my case.

I think your explanation is far too complicated - for me anyway!
I'm quite happy with the former England manager, and, rightly or wrongly have the correct numbers of G's and T's.
Cheers!

OK - I give in. The football manager it is. That way I have 25 of everything. Thank you so much!
