                      How did we lose the extra "t" for elevens btw?

                      Comment


                        Shall we assume they're traditional elevens, taking "t" at half-time?

                              Which is right and proper that you as admit it

                                    I suspect that people's difficultly is not working out the clue, but incorporating it into their own!

                                        Can I get some help on the previous clue? BO = sweaty pong, LIV = No. 54. But 4 elevens from Rome? Looks more like 2 tens to me. And where does the E come from?

                                          I'll admit to not fully parsing the clue either before setting the follow-up. There is an XLIV (4 elevens) in the middle of things, but we've already sorted the LIV bit

                                            Ah, you might be right with the XLIV bit, so that would make "no. 54" be XE. I don't follow that one.
