Heard / knew of the first two, third was what was left when put out as a string rather than a spiral.

First come first served. Tripps has it. Tripps has it. (Must be listening to Bercow too much).
We are starting to drain the swamp on these puzzles , just a hand full left.

Indeed, although originally from the dark side, I do like him, a good Speaker of the House, has some good put downs and up there with Betty.
Don't worry I have about 300 in my GCHQ book yet to sort.

Re: PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS
Yes there is but I think the workings out are correct so I reckon it's an oversight.

Tripps, it looks like 60 years has been too long. The Noes have it, The Noes have it.
Re: PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS

Re: PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS
Looks like going for a third vote. PanBiker's answer is nearer but not quite right. Clue, its an even number.

Re: PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS
I was actually going to stick 0.3 reoccurring on the end but I rounded down, should I have gone the other way?

Re: PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS
Not sure about that PanBiker. Once you have identified the fundamentals the simultaneous method drops out with numbers that you can use in your head. Like all the things its easy when you know.

Re: PUZZLES - CRYPTIC CLUES AND ANSWERS
I'm going to have to resign as well then. I have used up all of my perceived knowledge gained from 5 years (3 hours per night once a week) of Calcs and Principles foisted on me during my City and Guilds training for Radio & TV Servicing. It's 45 to 50 years ago for me and probably the first time I have had to go back there. Binary subnetting is a lot easier. I would like to see the answer for the two variables to see where my memory gave up.

OK, I'll wait until China throws his cap in the ring then watch you all kick yourself. Meanwhile talk amongst yourselves. There's only one thing worse than being talked about and that's no being talked about.(who said that?)

Consonant = 50, vowels = 30, then sum.
