We're definitely highly tuned May7

I don't really care whether I was first to get them right or not . And think about the poor OP being overloaded with answers that she then has to read through and check and reply to.

I’ve got most. Very good grany23 look forward to checking my answers when you post them. We could just wait till 9.00 to see if we are right. ?

Can I make a suggestion.? When someone posts a puzzle, can we PM the OP with an answer and then the OP lets us know who was the first to get the answers correct, and of course let us have the answers , and there should be a time limit, say , 24 hours from the OP - hopefully that will work.

Me too. Are we bored or just highly tuned human specimens bathsheba
?

Think I've got them all! I'll shut up until 9.00 o'clock tonight, promise

Here are some more different puzzles, Please don't post your answers until say 21.00 tonight to give others a chance.

Eyeliner is a great alternative May7.

Sorry just seen answer

pittcity is yours eyeliner
If not please give a clue its driving me crazy

Yes I though 7 could be 'politically correct'. I thought about all the other examples given too but didn't consider as PM being night, just anytime after midday.

Well, these dingbats gave the little grey cells a work out, and together with Marydoll's Mathematical Extravaganza, I've been exercising my brain - a lot more than my body l’m sad to say. Thank you.

pittcity yours is a better answer than I was given.

Thanks for the answer to your one - I didn't get it.

I thought 7 was Alright on the Night!

Mine was High IQ.

Missedout Love the name by the way. Bathsheeba was correct with the first 5.

No. 6 is - Back to square 1
No. 7 is - Goodnight or alternatively "Yes, Prime Minister"
No 8 is - Anyone for Tennis

When will we get the answers? I'm stuck on 07
Any hints?

Sorry, I should have just said 'yes', shouldn't I

Please find some more like this Granny23 and I promise I'll shut up!

Bathsheba is very good at solving these puzzles quickly! Well done!

bathsheba playing by herself
Reminds me of when my grandson was little and always called the answer out in class ???

Here's one I like.

I've got 6 now.

Anyone got number 6? I think I know 7.

Well, that was a waste of time, wasn't it? I thought we were supposed to keep solutions to ourselves so as not to spoil it for others?

Oh, just got the last one: Anyone for tennis.
