What a completely brilliant puzzle. Just what is needed on a blustery bank holiday Monday. It brings back memories of making rebus puzzles as children. Thank you for reminding me. Clever old Adam Dant!
What larks! I know what I’ll be doing this afternoon…
Thanks Adam and GA – it’s going to be fun solving them.
So close but absolutely stumped by number 14. Could be this, could be that. Argh!
Clue: say no. 5 in a French accent
No. 11 as well
Im absolutely stumped on number 12,!
A brilliant quiz! Am stumped on a couple but will keep at it!
All but 8. Great fun but running short of time. Prorickular? Is that a word?
I got 11 easy and a few others but completely defeated by a lot of them
Some like 2, 3 and 9 were easy to spot, but others like 4 and 8 I wouldn’t have got in a million years. It was fun to do though, so thanks for this one.
Please Sir, can I have some more?
I’m so delighted to have won a copy of the map. The rebus was both fun and infuriating; it took me until 9.50pm to complete.
Number 8 was the most tricky for me.
