Cross & Cross

I've not eaten a greengage for years. I remember a friend of my Dad's grew lovely juicy ones.

Only two to find and they're both the same fruit!

Greengage Summer more famous than all the films on this list!
Kenneth More, Susannah York....

Hi Bill and Roger,

Thanks for your final fruit suggestions.

I was delighted to find film names involving these fruit.

I particularly like the sound of Tangerines, an Estonian-Georgian film from 2013 which was nominated for both a Golden Globe and an Oscar.

RogerE · Post by **RogerE** » 26 Nov 2020 02:12

Thanks for you quiz Nigel

You are a good "Number Two" quizmaster,
and your choice of subjects is always appreciated.

Q: The Olympic Rings are attached to five clues in the puzzle just completed:
(1,1), (1,4), (2,4), (2,7), (2,14).
Is there an additional word hidden in those five answers?

Good question Roger!

If you read them as a single column, as rows 1, 4, 19, 22 & 29, and pick the first and last letters of each answer, you get:

SM, FP, RE, DE & DH

Picking one from each of these pairs in turn, you could get the word SPEED which fits the theme.

There may be a more straightforward answer!
