I've had a particularly dull week at work, stuck in the office almost every day so to help pass the time I have been trying to complete the 225 question pop quiz available here. (http://www.arnodewever.com/quiz/#GA)

The for mat is crossword style cryptic clues, some easy, some hard and some just daft!

Example - Upset over phobias = Tears For Fears

I'm stuck on 3 and looking for help -

19. Stealing the England captains meat (the answer is not Beck!)

23. Stunted Growth

224. American Barley

Get your thinking caps on!:)

I have some "tools" that remove passwords from excel files - then you can reveal the hidden cells that contain the answers.

We often get protected stuff in for work - that I need to hack about so I use them on a regular basis. Also useful for finding the last couple of answers in quizes - usually the answers are spelt wrong or have weird punctuation.
