Butterscotch Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Because I have time to waste and like to create various forms of cryptic crossword questions, I'm putting 5 questions here relating to LOTR. If people like to work them out and get them right or not, I'll put the answers and then five more questions in a couple of days. To help, I've put a C for Character name, L for Location or A for Actor and the number of letters to the answer. I hope you enjoy working them out. 1] Old Testiment prophet can't see it for the trees (A 6+4) 2] IF U R DAD ROB (A 4+6) 3] f*** Rodent (C 7) 4] Gordon loves this mixed up place (L 6) 5] At Caradhras, initially, legs ever green onwards leap amid snow.

Butterscotch Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Sorry to be late with reply - once again Crusty gets all 5 answers right. Brill. I am on holiday next week so not sure if I will find time to go onto the net, but keep an eye out and at the latest, I'll be back on the first day of March. So, meanwhile, I'll give you 10 questions. 1] Goldfinger's 007 and his car uncover him (A 4+5) 2] What a 1/4 pint Hal, removed the legitamacy of Sir Lancelot's son (C 3-5) 3] What a muddle for a Holiman (A 3+4) 4] L NERD LIVE (L 9) 5] Could this rock be one of the famous five (A 5+7) 6] Breadmaker loses his top and twists to the Salsa (A 4+5) 7] Mr Thumb and the Red Coats (A 6+6) 8] Through the narrow wooded valley of a stream, the Norse God walks (C 8) 9] Eat, Drink and be.

Butterscotch Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 FOR WICCAWISE 21 - YOU ASKED HOW THE ANSWERS WERE ACHIEVE FROM THE CLUES, I HOPE THIS IS OF SOME HELP TO YOU. Kill Dee (remove the d) "and ours" will be a (confused = euphemism for jumbled) megolomaniac (clue to the characters nature) Another word for Haughty is proud - another word for Madam is Mrs and 12 inches = 1 foot and moniker is another word for name "A horn" (squeals in frustration = euphemism for jumbled) Goths were an ancient germanic and barborous race. Moggies is a colloquial name for Cats Young Potter = Harry and the C5 car was created by Dr. Clive Sinclair GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEXT TEN QUESTIONS.

naurarwen_fangorn Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 9] Eat, Drink and be. (C 5) Gimli I'll try the others alittle later too tired at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
