Hi Hugh, just one... #1 Klondike Rush

I think we may well have troubles over some of the others ?

Re: Enigma Machine #61

hi, guys!! Just got home from my oldest grandson's wedding...out of state! I printed this off, & believe that I found some answers. #4 is "increasing pain", #5 is "Big Carp in a small pond", & #8 is "greenhorn" or "Big greenhorn". Also #9 is "there's a light at the end of the tunnel". #12 is "tourney". Adding more: #2 is "tunics", #3 is "hot weather", i.e. heat in weather.




Tks, Joan

[Hugh]

Good start Joan, but I'm only going to give you #2, #5, #8 & #9. I like your answer for #12 and think it should be an alternate. I'm thinking about #3 as an alternate answer too. There is a better answer for #4 which you know. Good work.

Cheers,

Hugh

[Hugh]

You are very close Ranald, but what kind of a rush was it?

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #61

OK Hugh, I see the colour now, it is very feint, but #1 Klondike Gold Rush...

Ranald

[Hugh]

Right Ranald, that is it.

Re: Enigma Machine #61

OK, Hugh...on #4 how about "excruciating pain" ??!! Tks J

Re: Enigma Machine #61

Hi, I was about to put up #4 Increasing pain....

Ranald

[Hugh]

Sorry Joan & Ranald, but it is a very common expression at least in N. America and it is plural . Not sure about the UK.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #61

Hi Hugh, I have just been onto the internet, and may have found the answer ?

#4 Pain and gain ?

Re: Enigma Machine #61

Hi, Hugh...I've been thinking over #5 would it be better as "Big fish in a little pond" ??? I had put carp previously. J

Re: Enigma Machine #61

Sorry Ranald, but that's not it.

Re: Enigma Machine #61

That's it exactly Joan, but I gave you credit for your answer.
