Thats if he has got it right!!!!!!! | If you take the numbers to indicate how many letters will be in the words of the answers, as they appear in brackets in crosswords, then we need a six word answer, first word of one letter, second word of 6 letters, etc. Then write the words as an acrostix as follows (I'm assuming that he's got the last two words the wrong way round ... if not, then this won't work!!) Little Large Little Little Little Large so we have "little" written on the left side, with "large" written on the right side, but in the second line, there is a "little" on the right side where there should be a "large". So, I suggest, the answer is "a little on the large side" | | | 5th October 2007, 15:12 | #6 (permalink) | | Super Tenerifian Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Tenerife Gender: Posts: 1,630 My Mood: |  So that's why you are the millionaire champion.
