Yep, heard that riddle-me recently asked and answered in a pub.



Hey, could you update us on another quiz you posed a couple of months back, please?

"So I'm doing a cryptic music quiz, the answers are all artists or bands from the 70's, 80's and 90's and there's five I can't do. Any ideas ?

1.Xnumber with European ancestors

2.Wobbling road with unfavourable odds

3.Doubting child twice ?

4.Educated society

5.Gyrators"

1. 10c

2. Shaking Stevens

3.Thompson Twins

4. Culture Club

5. Spinners

Would seem yer have it nailed, Troods ................... ya beautilicious little gyrator you !

Oops, sorry DG.
For some reason I misread the Opening Poster as yourself rather than D.O.
Thanks for clearing up the answers -- they were bugging me to know.
(Tho' I'm a bit nonplussed with the solution to #1 ............... 10CC --European ancestors. Really? How?)
Thanks again, nevertheless.

IIRC it was a dna thing, or something of that nature. Obviously Xnumber is 10.

I think the European ancestors is a reference to the Roman numerals.

Thanks fella's.
But, I just don't "get it"; CC = European Ancestors.
Nah, still can't see it.
(However, it was always the case that the "bleedin' obvious" could kick me in the face and I still wouldn't recognise it).
