Nora's Quiz

[Big Jenny]

I've finished this quiz, except for Q.28. I'm not sure whether it's a mistake on the part of the compiler, or whether it really is designed to catch you out. What does everyone else think?

Can we have a clue?

[candled]

I have put eyes....c

[Big Jenny]

The clue is What is cockney rhyming slang for mince pies?

I know the cockney rhyming slang for eyes, but I'm not sure what it is for mince pies.

[candled]

oh I see what you mean....c

[squarebear]

That would seem to be an error if you ask me. It should probably be "what is mince pies the cockney rhyming slang for?"

[Dustybun]

according to Uncle Fred there isn't a match for mince pies,

Having said that the phrase "squashed flies" is rumbling round the back of my brain!!!!

[Big Jenny]

I'm inclined to agree with squarebear that it's probably been wrongly worded by the compiler, and that she means us to put eyes as the answer. However, you can never be sure.
