20.   Unscramble the two words  :  C E E I I K L M M O P R

9. Faith Hope Charity.

13. Scott Bakula

3. 101
11. Metropolis

1. Obama
5 Rosin (sp)
6 carpetbagger
8 assay
10 might be The Ladykillers
17 might be space vehicle launch site

Is number 4 Swindon Borough Councils original design for the Train station ?  :D

4. Scottish Assembly, Edinburgh

3. 101 or more
4. Holyrood, Edinburgh
7. Dom Perignon
10. The Ladykillers
11. Metropolis

16. Schooner?

18. 4 silver guineas each (they shared the food equally)

10. Definitely The Ladykillers

12.  The Flying Dutchman?

No, thats wrong.

As there are 8 loaves, and three men, think of it in thirds of a loaf. If the food is split equally, each man ends up with 8 thirds of a loaf. Man 1 brought 9 thirds to the party, man 2 brought 15 and man 3 none.

So man 1 ends up 1 third down, man 2, 7 thirds down and man 3 8 thirds up. So he should give 1 guinea to man 1 and 7 guineas to man 2.

What about 19 then?

1 maybe bowl
2 puppy
3 stream
4 poss ferry
5 don't know

Agreed  :)

The only vague link I have so far is

3. Stream
4. Stern
5. Steal

4 Stern?

I was trying:

1. bowl
2.puppy
3. stream
4. stern
5. steal/pinch

  :hmmm:

 so bowl puppy stream stern steal

Bowl, Fetch, Stream, Ship, Steal.

Originally I was thinking these may be baseball terms (certainly steal) but sure that's nonsense.

Those all refer to moving something from one place to another.

Would be disappointed if that was the answer!

12. Mary celeste

They're all verbs, though!   :D

The fourth pic could be ferry

15. Arugula

It could also be boat or float as well I guess.

14. Thali.

Could be - if the first one was a curve(d) bowl, or is that too tenuous ?

19.

 Bit of a long shot...could it be someting to do with cricket.

 Bowl, field rather than fetch, slip (stream),  nick

Somehow not quite convincing is it?

my first thought was also baseball but then tried to think a bit leftfield - flow instead of stream, run instead of fetch/puppy and got nowhere

still think its a cricket/sport related......

19. Over?

Bowl over
Fetch over
Over hill and glen  :)
Ship over
Take over

I was thinking cricket as well, but can't seem to get everything!

20. (at last!) LIMERICK, POEM

19. Another Long shot - all of the words rhyme with fish or a type of fish

Dish - Fish
Puppy - Guppy
Stream - Bream
Boat/Ship - ????
Take - Hake

2. Kim Kardashian West  (GQ Woman of the Year !!!!!)

19.

Birds

(b)Owl
(b)Eagle
(b)Rook
(s)Tern
(s)Teal

Or something elaborate to do with West Ham. (Boleyn, Brooking, Moore)
Someone owes me money for the time I have wasted on this question.

I actually tried to work something out with Owl earlier and couldn't get anything else!

You are a genius Iffy!

Well done that man!   :clap:

Had Owl, Tern and Teal and forced the other two.

Genius (if it's right)   :clap:

Thus one gave 1/3 of a loaf while the other gave 2 1/3 loaves to the man with none. The second one gave 7 times as much and should receive 7 times as much back as the other.
The first should get one coin while the other gets 7 coins

Woo. Go TEF (apart from 4D).

4D seems to be lacking confidence atm....he works hard in training though, and I'm sure there will be more chances for him to get things right, as long as he keeps showing a good attitude and doesn't allow off forum issues to distract his focus.

You're right Reg. I shouldn't boo our own team members just because they make an elementary slip. Head up 4D.

Yeah...
