Rainbow Charity Puzzle - Sept. '05

[dougglos]

Can anyone help with Q88 and Q94 in the katest "Rainbow" Puzzle ?  I thought that Q88 might be "Father Time", but Q94 is drawing a blank at the present time !  Thanks

[LittleBrit]

Could you give us the clues please?

[dougglos]

Q88 :  "He ruled absolutely but had time to become a flier"

Q94 :

[dougglos]

Little Brit - Hello !

Q88 is  "He ruled absolutely but had time to become a flier"  (6, 4)

Q94 is:  "She gave bad advice for a diabetic taking a potion"  (4, 7)

NB:  All answers are people who have control over others (e.g., Inspector, Matron, Sergeant, etc., including real names - Catherine the Great etc.) Thanks.

are these the only ones you haven't got - if so, blimey!

I notice that noone seems to have got them - um musst be tricky

[dougglos]

Hello, Goofy - yes these are the only two I need now - I usually spend quite a bit of time on the Rainbow Quizzes when they first come in - that's the benefit of being retired !!

Regards.

dougglos-   try a spoonful of sugar !!!!  john

94. "spoonful of sugar"

[Green sally]

94. Think of a song that appeared in a well-known film. The singer is the answer.

[dougglos]

Thanks to greensally - only Q88 left now !!

[razza]

I think the clue green sally has given is actually harder than the original question for Q94

[dougglos]

Does that mean you are still looking for the answer to Q94  ?

supercalifragilisticexpealidocious!! (Q.94)

Do you have 41? Assume Franco but don't know why (apart from Spanish clue).

[dougglos]

Q41 - "Can Only Do" + "E" ( for Spain) - anagram gives author's name !  (Elementary, my dear Watson !)

Title of one of his books includes an army rank !

Hope this helps !
