Really stuck on this quiz so any help would be much appreciated thanks.
1.The Greek character gets a rejection.
2.Able to decline in Paris.
3.Sounds like the pets agree.
4.Lend some money to the naval guy.
5.Many return in a moving tide.
6.Note the European mountain adder.
7.The remote Mr. has to be brought around.
8.Before D Day, 192 made a pound.
9.An exceptionally fast man on a bus.
10.Tied many in a chaotic manner.
11.A water organ?
12.If any step can be altered, then do it.
13.Take a spurt, then train.
14.Point to part of the stage and chain me around.

It seems that clues 5 & 10 have the same answer - dynamite, unless someone can come up with an alternative answer to either one.

Thanks, Kath.

Sorry to confuse Kitty.... I was thinking 'out loud' about no 8. Bad mistake ! I'd sort of hoped there'd be 12 (invention)s to the ounce! 'Twas not to be. Should learn to keep my mouth shut.

Nothing wrong with thinking out loud and no such thing as a bad mistake. Having ideas which might spark off other ideas is how puzzles are solved!
Please don't keep your mouth shut.
