Which clues are still unanswered? (yes I'm lazy) :redface:

Good clue thread btw!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Unanswered thus far:

5. Not a dog day
8. That's right; he's not sinister.
9. Between 14 - 28 m/s, and the number from a Sheffield 80's band, whose biggest hit was 'Temptation'.
10. Tastes like Turkish Delight, really!
11. God starts the week from a distance!

#2 is gone - answered, prize awarded ... if brewndog hadn't nailed his feet to the thread, he'd be pushing up daisies!
 
Oh, and #6 has been answered, but the clue giver hasn't confirmed if the answer is 'correct' (myself, I would have said, as a clue 'anti-Epimetheus')
 
Ok, sorry, didn't see that! I've updated it just for you! I know 8 too, but only because it's a special interest of mine so I'll leave it for you lot, speshly since AKG was so close.
 
#6 is gone too.

I hope #11 is a real PF username. The best I can do is :

ramonm

ra = Egyptian sun god
mon = monday : starts the week (according to many)
m = meter, a distance

Tsk, I try my best to help! There's just no pleasing some people.
 
#9 isn't about BEF is it ? Only number of theirs that I know, is Groove Thang.
 
BEF?

I wouldn't worry too much about the Sheffield band bit. Concentrate on the 14-28m/s bit.
 
12. Now blank it with cell transport and protein synthesis

this is probably WAY too vague
 
Yeah, way too vague :

Easy-ish one :

13. Elma, this hardly contains her !

more cryptic now :

14. Northern mashing tooth, all mashed up

15. Appear to make sleeping sounds, without a ...

Too easy, the next one :

16. MD Albert ?

very close but think latin not egyptian, and as for distance it``s really not that cryptic!
 
16. MD Albert ?
Dr Al[/color]. Obvious.
 
Well, yes, #16 is pretty easy...Doc Al[/color]
 
Well, since folks keep beating me to the answers, I'll just write a clue and hope nobody has done this name already:

17. Scottish John who hammers metal.[/size]
 
18. ærlig rosa eau

Been done, my padawan.
 
oops...too bad, let someone guess
 
On the other hand, I don't suppose there's anything wrong with having multiple clues for the same user.
 
how'd you get that so fast.

If you're referring to 10, then yes.

As for the sinister one (no. 8 I think), it wouldn't be yeahright, would it?

You are correct! If you win 3 small prizes, you can trade up to a large one. :biggrin:
 
#8 has to be dextercioby - dexter is the opposite of sinister[/color]
