Yes, most of them I got immediately when seeing the answers, and most of the others after thinking a bit. However, I still don't quite get no 10, but then again, it seems to involve some racial slur (or something?) - so I'm not sure I want to understand it... I think many of them involves words that I only know passively (i.e. know, but don't use myself).Starkey7 wrote:Once you saw the answers, was it easy to see why they were the answers? That's often the first step in understanding and solving cryptic puzzles.
The "ton" meaning one hundred, I'd probably never would have figured, even though I now see it refers to 100 points in darts. Are there any other instances when "ton" means 100? To me, "ton" or (tonne) is so intimately related to 1000 (kg)!
