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!

I have been out all day and have only just come on to the forum.
36 is still proving bothersome. Please don't be despondant maeve - my observation is that the clue does not say 'square' root - only 'root'
I must say I favour the 'root veg' simply 'turn' PI and it is there.
I think your way is very ingenious but rather complicated for this quiz. I spent most of last night trying to find an ending with G answer that could be wrong, with no success.

Winnie...me too, am sticking with the veg. Completely stuck on 46, thinking plant as in stuff on building sites, birds being cranes....also thinking I should put the quiz to one side for a couple of days but that is my last one so any hints please to put me out of my misery. Then comes the copying it out before posting it off...last two quizzes I lost points because of being careless writing answers, very annoying.

Hi twinsnan. re 46 you really are trying too hard.
This ..'is' dropped = th
Now add 6 letter word for plants and the whole answer is the name of a bird ( though plural ofcourse)
Good Luck

re 36 - having accepted that it is the root veg, I still wanted to figure it out. Don't underestimate Neville, he is very very smart.
This is one of his triple whammies. P is the 16th letter of our alphabet. I is the 9th. The 'root' of 169 is 13. The clue for 13 is Turnover.
I'm sorry to be so pedantic, but I have been doing this quiz for many years and am used to Neville's little tricks.
