MikeO Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Can you work them out, 1. GEG, (9,3) 2. 1/8, (3) First one is a variation on a classic (it's normally GEGS (9,4)....not seen the second one. I'll give it some thought. Used to be a real cryptic (and tougher) crossword nut. On two occasions won prizes in The Independent saturday magazine one....much tougher than standard cryptic :graduated: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Looks like people need a clue on these, 1. GEG, (9,3)or GEGS, (9,4). Something nice to eat? 2. 1/8, (3). A sporting person. Edited February 21, 2010 by The Beard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Only three letter word I can think of for number two is: Ref. But if it is right I can't see why, so obviously I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 1/8 ... Cox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beard Posted February 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Spot on Bill. The wording of the clue would be the 1 over the 8. Which in rowing terms is what the Cox is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one over the eight but couldn't get past the drinking connotation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
