PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS

[Cathy]

I haven't done these 'moving squares puzzles' before, not sure how to do it.
But I see Clint Eastwood.

[Marilyn]

Me too..

[plaques]

Puzzle No 66. 'Clint Eastwood' it is.

Both Cath and Marilyn have got it. I suppose its a bit like doing anagrams but with more restrictive rules.

[chinatyke]

Why is there an extra O?

[PanBiker]

Probably to make up the 3 x 5 grid. Leaving a blank would give the game away too easily and there is no stipulation that all the letters have to be used.

What are they?

[Tripps]

I'm sorry - I haven't a clue

[plaques]

Tripps have another try. Possibly when you first saw it I'd inadvertently put the wrong question to the segments. It now reads musical terms not instruments. Mea culpa.

[Tripps]

Ah - I thought I had misread it. Still struggling though - best I can do is

Adagio
Sonata
Presto
Timbre

Tripps I think Trump has put you under stress. Have another quick look and see if you can them to sound right.

[Tripps]

Got it - I think.

Didn't help that I copied the wrong letters to my 'working out' sheet.

Puzzle No 49. That's three in a row for Tripps.
People may be wondering why the puzzle numbers are not sequential. The answer is easy, I dropped the cards on the floor and they got mixed up. Its a good job they were numbered and with a clever bit of mathematics I got them back in order but the die has been cast and we are stuck with it.

A

Puzzle 69. Panbiker's correct, Can't remember the score but it must be somewhere near level pegging.

[Marilyn]

[PanBiker]

Not a particularly hard one that, you only had to find one as it was common to all.
