37. (6)last man has lost head when roused

[mallyh]

keep thinking..... stalin

[Mamyalynne]

Thought it may have been the last man guillotined in France but the count is wrong.

[emeritus]

Could last man refer to Cobbler ?

[chelle7272]

I would say so ascetic is spartan type - so without the s = acetic
though I wouild have thought way would be 'st' not just 's'

[chelle7272]

Oops sorry wrong one!

[dannyk13]

Schuman(n)?

[mallyh]

/// Could last man refer to Cobbler ? ///

Spoken like a true cruciverbalist ;-)

[dannyk13]

Doh, must learn to count.

[habakkuk3]

Thanks to everyone who has answered. I was really excited by Stalin, then realised the answer has to be a person from the past who lived in the 1600's. So not Stalin.
Also thought Cobbler was a good idea but too many letters.
Thinking caps needed again please.

Tasman? Born 1603

Anagram of (l)ast man

[mallyh]

well done xx^^^^

[Canary42]

Wow - at last - brilliant work Toorak

[dannyk13]

Tasman?

[dannyk13]

Oops too late.

[Mamyalynne]

Good call, well done.

It's curious that with almost all these questions both here and elsewhere the dates aren't given until well into the thread - why is that?

[habakkuk3]

Toorak and dannyk13. Brilliant answer. Your thinking caps must have worked overtime. Thanks so much

[Mamyalynne]

habakkuk, is this the "Open Arms Malawi" Quiz?

If so, could you post a link to the details.

I am having trouble finding it as I usually do.

[habakkuk3]

Mamyalynne, sorry, a friend sends it on to me. I suggest you check the Open Arms Malawi website for quizzes.

[Mamyalynne]

I have checked their site daily since this starting being asked weeks ago, most odd that no one has the details - I may have to skip this one from now on.

Sad.
