Oh lordy, it's the unwelcome return of the cryptic series! This time it's with a twist - I'm not telling you who or what links the answers. I'm not even telling you if the clues make any sense or not
Oh, alright, there's a television theme going on. And I've edited 1: a bit so it actually does make sense.
22 points on offer - 1 for getting the right answer, 1 for giving the right method of getting to the answer, or 2 for giving and fully justifying an answer that is different to the one I've got. Max 2 points per clue.
If anyone gets all 22 points they win Jono*. Answers/justification in a PM please, closing time of, ooh, let's say 9:37pm GMT on MARIO day***.
1: Elementally, 2, 2, 3 and 3 - s
2: Π(1/2)², Π(1/3)², Π(1/4)², Π(1/5)², ...
3: 0.0625
4: Scalene Rovers, Isosceles United, Equilateral Athletic
5: Square root of 256
6: 1, 3, 6, 10 or 15 etc
7: 0.1 + ers
8: Roman 2 and 5 - s
9: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 12
10: 1/2 or 0.5
Special bonus 11th question that doesn't quite fit the logic of the above:
11: C, A, B, F, G#, B, C, D, A, F, B, C, G, A, F#, C#, A, C, C
*Prize of equal or greater value may be substituted. Probably half a packet of crisps**.
**At CoNot 2009 or CoLin 2010. I'm not paying postage and packing.
*** 10th of March.
