Something Nutty

#1 Post by Cenwulf » Thu Jan 01, 2009 8:26 pm

Though I did say that "Sciurius" might think up something nutty to last us until Issue 2 came out, he didn't. So here's my own nutty puzzle instead. How many can you identify?

1 One foot-swelling
2 Singer Marc
3 Somewhere in South America
4 Money two ways
5 Box fan
6 Hot chocolate fan
7 What William I did
8 Stuff Bacharach
9 Sports presenter Irvine
10 Dickory dock
11 Road covering on back road
12 Vegetable fan
13 Games tin
14 It is a chop, strangely
15 Mural fan

N.B. This is similar to Puzzletown Zoo.

All correct so far, apart from 8. Anyone from Leicester could get that one. :)
