Female supporter has two points Brass
If found in the pocket, it’s worth three digits Brass
Chopped up Melon Lemon
Quite acidic; it’s pureed melon Lemon
Street of uncooked fruit Strawberry?


Of course I could be wrong with some of my other answers!

[mallyh]

could that be red card in football for two of these etc

[mallyh]

sorry I meant yellow cards

It runs a bit deeper than whether someone does or does not donate to charity - those of us expressing concern do many quizzes per month and that is why setters continue to raise thousands for all sorts of charities nationwide.

When a quiz is blown apart like this other quizzers lose heart, sales of future quizzes fall and the setter packs in - the charity loses out in the long run.


Asking a couple in the final days is one thing but you only have to look at the OP to see what has caused the upset here.

[Tuvok]

I don't normally like to ask a lot of the questions in a quiz - but you know what it like when you've been looking at big quiz like this on and of for months - you get to a point where you have to ask for help!

I have seen others ask for the whole quiz over numerous posts! And in that case it was only about 20 - 30 questions in the quiz in total!

[Mamyalynne]

Yes I do know what it's like and I hate not having a completed sheet but it happens.

Yes I too have seen others do it and it saddens me for the reasons above.

[QuizmasterG]

still a farcical post for a quiz where you are gven the answers.

[mallyh]

[mallyh]

jo answered azure for Yorkshire river one

[mallyh]

[kettledrum]

Arizona river - azure
If found in pocket ... - Green fingers. Green ball (snooker) is worth 3 points
2nd largest flower ... - The Blue Danube

[Jackdaw33]

Roman water soldier
Aquamarine

Street of uncooked fruit Strawberry Lane

[fiction-factory]

I gave yellow river before as the answer to another one if you want to check back a couple of hours

[kettledrum]

Surely 'Roman water soldier' must be aquamarine. Is that a possible answer? What clue have you used for that answer?

Whoa whoa whoa.... hold on a bit... whilst I can understand a couple of answers being traded or assistance requested on this site... can we refrain from putting 'most' of the Clues on this site for general assistance... if not, a list of answers appearing on this site would possibly take away some of the fun for those who spend hours and hours trying to solve it and, possible more importantly, the hours and hours spent creating such a devilishly clever Quiz... thank you.

[Tuvok]

Thanks all. It's now posted.

I don't get what the answer to Frosty Republican Party beast is White elephant?

Is that a politicians nickname?

[smouse]

Good to see that reply from the setter Maybe it will stop so many being asked next year
