    IT (or anyone) - how does that Simon Bolivar clue work? I'm lost.

    Comment


      I took it as an anagram (cultivation) of 'in bloom is' with VAR (technical assistance). And presumably 'man of the country' refers to Bolivia being named after him ?

                                    Are you sure about the "3" bit in that answer?

                                      Yes, it's 3. (Have no idea of what to do about a clue, but I know the answer)

                                        Catch line-up, like Friedrich von Paulus? [5,7]

                                        (Still not convinced he wasn't Friedrich Paulus, Manstein had the "von")

                                          Typing von Paulus into Google takes you to his wiki entry. That's what I'm going on.
