Another easy-peasy quiz

Post by Rorthron »

A quick non-cryptic Spectrum game quiz. Go!

1. Did Rommel say this?
2. ‎Not more (anag.).
3. ‎Destroy Bauer.
4. ‎Nora.
5. ‎Bouquet of bluebells.
6. ‎Brown dwarf.
7. ‎About turn!
8. ‎Soda martini (anag.).
9. ‎Warsaw 52°14′N 21°1′E.
10. ‎Inhabitants of Gallifrey.

(I lied when I said "easy-peasy", but it's definitely not cryptic in the crossword sense.)

Aha, I jumbled the letters up & stared at them long enough to get excited when I saw 'not more' leap out at me.

I thought 7 might be "Reversi".
And 9 = Risk ?

Sorry, they are not right.

Two clues are left:

5. ‎Bouquet of bluebells.
9. ‎Warsaw 52°14′N 21°1′E.

Both require a bit of lateral thinking.

Yes!

In hindsight a better clue would perhaps have been "90 degrees north or south".
