Glad you're back... But sorry, you're off the mark.

Nimrod perhaps? Not very likely, but it's time this thread came nearer the top.

Sadly, no.

Dominie?

YS

Again, sadly, no.

Where is everybody? I know my brain hurts, but there must be someone out there with a smattering of brain cells.

Seems this one require a bit more than a smattering :confused:

Are we allowed to give in and have another one - just a teensy, weensy bit easier?

NutherA2, don't forget to ;)

Mr Chopra's dictionary might help...

(That would be Mr S.B. Chopra).

As in Dictionary of Mechanical Engineering?

Yes, exactly.

The frustration is palpable!!!

:):):)

Jackaroo by any chance?

Not the Jackaroo, I'm afraid.

NutherA2's guess and the reply should take you there instantly...

How's about "Picador", the Israeli UAV?

This one is nothing to do with an Israeli UAV...

NutherA2 was, in hide-and-seek terms, blisteringly hot, but had not dealt with the second part of the clue...

To help things along:

'Staff' led NutherA2 correctly to 'Pike'; Aubagne is home to the French Foreign Legion, who wear a Kepi. 'Tip' Kepi to get Pike.

Young's Modulus and the Rotational Constant will tidy things up to find a forum favourite; our antipodean correspondents will be pleased.

Post #7

I regularly set a quiz in an internet chat room (not aviation related). It's tricky judging your audience - make the questions too easy and it becomes a matter of who can type fastest, make them too hard and people get fed up never knowing the answers and don't come back.

I've had a couple of goes setting a clue on here which were obviously too easy (solved in less than an hour each time) but on the other hand this one is now around a fortnight old with no sign of being solved. Might I respectfully suggest we aim for something midway between 'Daily Mirror' and 'Listener' - 'Telegraph' standard perhaps?

Ready to be flamed if it's not what people want.
