Only a teeny, tiny bit! :rofl:

(I’m most pleased that the format spacing worked for number 10 though. First time I’ve tried it. If anyone doesn’t have the 1 below the P and the 100 below the ci please let me know but it displays correctly on my phone.)

:rofl:

10 is really hard unless you’re French. I believe you are definitely capable of working out the reply. The invitation is near impossible if you haven’t heard of the venue!

Have replyed in the Sandpit @Ian_Chimp as off topic here :+1:t2:

Ok my basic french is being tested here- a cent (100) sous (under) ci = could join to make “a cent soucis” which translates to “a hundred worries” is this anywhere near the right lines for the answer?

Very, very close but don’t literally translate that bit back to English… you’ve chosen the hardest possible part as that is a :ear: for the venue! Try the reply part in French but with the logic from question 3 which you got right.

Also full marks on all the others so you’re doing great!

je grande, a petite (a big appetite!)

I’m getting there :joy: so it has to be something foodie

Ok edit: un sous p a cent sous ci = a souper a cent soucis (venue?), j’ai grande appetit or in English… Dinner at Cent Soucis? I’m very hungry

Ah, I see now. I puzzled in English. Rookie mistake. :persevere:

Ah, yes failing to fully read the original quiz post makes it even harder!

I read that the clue was in French, but I didn’t click that the answer was going to be. :slightly_smiling_face: What can I say? Je suis stupide. :man_shrugging:

  10. Literal… un sous p á cent sous ci? = J grand a petit! (1 under P á 100 under ci? = large J small a)
    To sound like… un souper á Sanssouci? = J’ai grand appetit!
    In English… A dinner at the Palace of Sanssouci? = I have a big appetite!

Seriously well done everyone who had a go and sorry about number 10! @SexInTheCity you definitely get your point for scrambled eggs even if you think you don’t deserve it, @Cassii certainly a half point, maybe full for Repeat oneself over time which does basically work I think :+1:t2:. @Ian_Chimp is Victorian Book of Rebus a real thing? …I googled it, couldnt find it though there are lots of books of Rebus puzzles. I might have to get one for the coffee table or bathroom :rofl:

Obviously the victor of this quiz is @VanillaWithSprinkles though for amazingly getting number 10! :tada::tada::tada:

Ha. Sorry, no. :slightly_smiling_face: It was a comment on the archaic language of, ‘Too wise you are…’ It sounded very Gollum. :slightly_smiling_face:
