Hi jennifer
27 Yes it does start and end with letter T
Another word for story then initials of a religious book, the answer is a gift.

Thanks anotherray. Have now got the correct 27!!!!

Hope everybody is enjoying this quiz - Rainbows 50th - I am almost there.
As a matter of interest - the very first Rainbow Quiz back in 1993 was also titled
"Treasure Hunt"

Just logged onto the site again to find it in full swing! Hello everybody. Could I please have clues for the following (don’t think any have been given so far)
44. ... but can Bob sort out the hold (6,4)
51. The artist went after Jade, for instance, - a good looking girl. What a sauce! (11)
67. Find French money in a different country (9)
73. Name online another beast disposed of by Greek
labourer. (6,4)

Nos. 16, 18, 69, 92 and 99 has all had clues given but not been able to work them out yet!!
No. 16 is the “copper” a PC or something else?
No. 18 is the North African an Arab?
No. 69 ... got the 2nd word but stuck on 1st. A clue I think was
Another word for “plain” ?.
No. 92 is the bird one which was on an old British small coin?
No. 99. ? Bird ? Clue was what a junior jogger does (is this a child?)

Hope that’s not asking for too many clues but would be a help at the moment. Many thanks.


Will keep working on those last five

18 sort of Arab. Hat is the answe
44 anagram
51 Jade (5letters) = Artist (2) + good looking girl (4)
67 french money + 3 letters
69 - plain is not simple
73 anagram
92 German coin
99 bird

Very many thanks Nonplussed. Will work on your clues and hopefully will find the correct answers!

Still stuck on no’s. 18, 51 and 69 despite clues. No. 18- 8 letter word for a hat? The only one I could find with same letter both ends was Mushroom but don’t imagine it was that? No. 51 is the answer actually some kind of sauce? And finally No 69 is the second word, which I believe is a vegetable (?) one which you have with haggis?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Think I was right for No. 18 after all??!! So that just leaves 51 and 69.

18. Have you investigated the word in sections and followed the clue?

51. If you've done Rainbow Quizzes before, you will know that words you believe you know often have other meanings. Have you looked up jade in Chambers? Yes the answer is a sauce.

69. Never had haggis but it seems the right kind of veg to go with it.
