terrible twos quiz

[dabber]

Some help appreciated, please, with No.16 Adoring engineer recreated Eastenders (3,4,5) No.37 By sound o' it, a twin t' Bident (7) No.88 One bit in a bite: "Binary Rules OK" (9) - many thanks!

[darrensma]

I too am stuck on nos. 16 and 37. Qu. 88 is fairly straightforward. Put one bit (different word) in a bite and you get a 9 letter word for a rule of two. Can you now give me a hint for no. 85?

[dabber]

Thanks darrensma for Q. 88. For Q.85 , an anagram of "pilot mike b" will give you someone well known and lead to the required answer! I'm still looking for answers to Q.4, Q.46 and Q.48 - any clues please? Thanks again!

37 By reading the clue you will have actually said the answer

[dabber]

Thanks razza for 37! I still need 4, 16 and 46 - any ideas/clues, please?

[wymondham2]

I am struggling as well. No4, try an anagram of hat the word writhed (without thed) and you get a type of screw apparently! Still can't work out no 37!

[wymondham2]

I have just spotted an error in no 46. The number of letters in the answer is 6,3,6,. This has not helped me at all as I haven't got a clue what the answer is!

wymondham2 - for 37. say out loud 'twin t'. Is it obvious now?

Can anyone confirm if No.9 is about tattoos?

[wymondham2]

Thank you Foxlee, got it now. For 9 I have put binoculars, using lettrs from 'ink on cult art so better' but by no means certian it is right!

[FoxLee2]

Thank you so much wymondham 2 - I was way off track thinking that the two came from too in tattooo - one of the red herrings mentioned.

Any in particular that are driving you mad that I could help you with?

[wymondham2]

Glad to be of hwlp to you. back to work today for the first time since Christmas so am feeling rather brain dead! I am stuck on 14.....Cooked twice in old France and taken with cheese... I can only think of biscuit, but can't see how it fits in. Any more you are stuck on?

[FoxLee2]

I remember learning the meaning of that at school - centuries ago it seems

bis - twice cuit - cooked and apparently the biscuit was put in the oven twice.

Apart from the obvious ones that most people seem stuck on No,38 seems like it should be simple but I can't figure it out. Partied wildly for the group Wings II

and 48 - Obsolete Mankind took a bowel movement around one and added where it came from. Have spent hours on this one but no nearer to getting a solution
.

[wymondham2]

38 is an anagram of partied....diptera...which a genus of two winged insect.
48 I have bimanal which is another name for obsolete mankind. I seem to have spent hours trailing through the dictionary looking for words which fit the clues!

[FoxLee2]

Thank you so much for those answers.I also obtained a lot of answers through trrawling the dictionary of twin words, duo words and bi - but somehow missed those answers. Thanks again,
