Do you know your own body?

[TraceyK]

Hello,

I've had some great help so far, but am stuck on the last 6 qns. The answers all have something to do with the human body/ailments etc.

1. Fencer's weapon after type of charge (8,5)
2. Bottom (8) - unless the consensus is 'backside'?
3. Per Forster, it sounds like it should have a view (4)
4. More European money in a bowl (5)
5. It takes more than your 20 to make a bed (4)
6. This fish is out of water (4) - unless the consensus is 'lung'?

Thank you in advance!

3 A "womb" with a View?

[squarebear]

backside and lung sound good

4....Bowel

What is the answer to 20? That may give a clue.

[TOMMO33]

Forster "A Room with a View" so should be 5 not 4 RHEUM

5 Nail?

[TraceyK]

For Q5 - the answer to 20 is 'muscle'

[squarebear]

That's a shame. If it was foot or head, it could refer to the phrase:

"First the foot, and then the head, that's the way to make a bed"

[squarebear]

1 shoulder blade?

3. Room - from E.M. Forster's "Room with a view"

[grasscarp]

I put nail, thinking of a bed of nails. We have 20 nails on our body.

[squarebear]

Is "room" a part of the body?

[squarebear]

I like it grasscarp.

[Prescott]

I agree Tommo !!

Another suggestion for 2 has been Buttocks? I think this one is ambiguous, unless it's more cryptic than I'm giving it credit for?

The nail answer was pure genius - would never have got that in a million years! x

3 Rheum - water mucous discharge

6 Soul?

> 1. Fencer's weapon after type of charge (8,5)

Definitely SHOULDER BLADE


> 2. Bottom (8) - unless the consensus is 'backside'?

Problem is that 'buttocks' is just as plausible - very bad question setting when there are more than one solution...


> 3. Per Forster, it sounds like it should have a view (4)

Definitely WOMB.

> 4. More European money in a bowl (5)

Definitely BOWEL - e, being the symbol of the euro, in BOWL.


> 6. This fish is out of water (4) - unless the consensus is 'lung'?

LUNG sounds good.
