Just one word each please (but do tell us how you worked it out!) |
1. Eggshells, though extra credit will be given for 5318008 |
5. Keyboard - in HTML. |
2 - Phonetic |
6 - Inspector |
4 ArSeNiC |
12. Deaf (British sign language) |
10. Flag (semaphore) |
I wish I'd looked into no11 first. That strikes me as the hardest of the lot and I now know the answer. *gnashes teeth* |
6) Inspector - morse code |
7. Pearly (cockney) |
9. MIX (Roman) |
3 - CABBAGE, I believe (musical notes) |
8 - SHIP, Nautical Signal Flags |
11 is Concorde. If you mark the locations of all the towns on a map of UK (use rough midpoints for Wales and East Anglia) and then draw a straight line from the Birmingham point to the London point - and so on through the other places in the order specified - then you will get an polygonal outline image of Concorde in mid-flight (at a sort of angle). |
Jag - I don't think so! I've already made one suggestion, so I shouldn't offer another - but if the answer is what I think it is, Luton and Northampton represent a single letter. |
Just 11 left to guess (and Simon's on the right track...) |
BLACK - car registration regional identifiers |
The twelve hidden words were: 1] EGGSHELLS (upside-down on a calculator) 2] phonetic (Phonetic alphabet) 3] cabbage (musical notes) 4] ArSeNiC (element-ary) 5] keyboard (in HTML/ASCII code) 6] inspector (morse) 7] pearly (Cockney Alphabet) 8] ship (nautical signal flags) 9] MIX (Roman numerals) 10] flag (semaphore) 11] black (vehicle registration letters) 12] deaf (Deafblind manual alphabet) |
OK, OK. So I was wrong. But I wanted to get it off my chest anyway, the confounded problem had me bugged all day and I made a crazy, vaguely-laterally-thought-out guess. |
