Tommo, what if you double bag it? One bag inside the other, filling the inside bag would also fill the outer one

4 surely that has to be Sandie Shaw with puppet on a string, must of been late 60's as I sorta remember (trying to) singing it in our back garden. wasn't she the one who sung in bare feet?
17 logical guess I hope. Are they the only UK entry to get nul points?
19 wasn't Uncle Bulgaria there, even England wouldnt of had pinky and perky or the Muppets as an interval act so it has to be the Wombles

Two more very generous people have contacted me today asking for their entry fee to be donated to SARS.
Although I have run out of fingers and thumbs to add the total up, I make it a total of £322 pounds,,,,,,Which I am happy to round up to £350. I intend to transfer the money to SARS on Saturday so please let me know if their are any more donations before then. If not I can always make further transfers as and when, I just know SARS have lost about 90% of their expected donations due to the present situation.
Also if you wanna know where the odd two pounds came from ask KT as for some reason, best only known to himself he paid £12 entrance fee.
Everyone please stay safe, and lets see you all at World Four Pin, when ever it takes place.

Having thought about it further and a pint of cask Broadside reaching the parts that canned beer cannot reach, they are correct. It's all to do with net time and gross time, we counted the seventeen hours on the errant clock. Of course after seventeen real hours our errant clock will be ONLY showing 16:09. It needs to run another 57 minutes to get to show 17:06 by which time it will have lost ANOTHER three minutes, thus real time will now be 18:00hrs. Ninety minutes later is 19:30 as they correctly say. Do I keep me points along wiv me pint?  Sav,,,, you got your point so just drink your pint  |

Really living up to the name Robbie Rotten: stealing it from Daveuk1 - and after he gave the enormous clue about straight and curved edges ! Where's Sportacus when you need him ? LOL I didn’t even see his clue it’s simple art of deduction It's OK tommo, I've always had a soft spot for Bob as he has been know to buy the beers on more than one occasion |

11 probably totally wrong, but it says divide them anyway you like so I assume you dont have to have 50 marbles in each bowl,,, therefore,,,,,
Couldn't you put just one white marble all by itself in bowl one and then the other 49 white marbles in bowl two with the 50 black ones.
Bowl one is a 100% certainty to be white
Bowl two is almost a 50-50 chance of getting a white
Q15 is bugging me, I have an idea but don't want to look too stupid (again) so may I ask if straight lines have anything to do with the answer

12. 30. 2 x 3 =6. 6 x 5 = 30

4 the same 6, unless the ship is sinking as it will stay floating the same
10 love elctricery questions, in the olden days of tungsten filament lamps it would be easy, but not so with modern LED lamps.
With LED lamps you would need to get all smart and technical and use a test meter
With the old lamps that get hot its easy peasy. Turn the first switch on for a few mins and then turn it off, turn the second switch on, leave the third switch off and visit the attic. Assuming all the lamps are good, the one on will be controlled from the second switch, the one thats off but hot will be the first switch and the cold one thats off is switched by the third switch.
I hope I didnt over complicate the answer
19 £40

Well once we can get into the pubs I am sure Steve and myself will have a few games with the 50 pegs set out like the ones in your pic, we've tried just about every other option
