    What kept you!
    I'll leave the two of you decide who goes next, and with what letter.

      So what was the answer? Fux, Francaix, Hendrix? If so, then Tapiola got 2/3 and should set Y for his sins.

        Thanks a bunch, rubbers!

        My reasoning, FWIW, was that Xenakis wrote a stunning orchestral piece "Lichens" - Linnaues studied lichens in depth.

          Indeed he did. I didn't like it at first, but it's grown on me

              Yes. It seems so, but it was damned diffucult holding the PC up to the mirror to check.

                Sorry - I'd assumed that, between you, you'd taken that for the correct answer, which it is, and that it was merely a question of deciding who goes next. It looks like Tapiola's ready to put us all to the test again....

                  Thanks for the clarification Ofca.

                  I have an easy Y or a slightly more cryptic A.

                  Unsure of the rules at this point...

                    The rule clearly states that you give us an easy Y

                      Haha,

                      I have a strange sense of deja-vu over this one, almost as if I have asked it before. Maybe I have. Nonetheless:

                      What Y connects a French pianist, a French actor and a French commune?

                          You can choose to set A or Z

                            For us numpties, can we have the full answer as to which Yves?

                              Yves Montand - actor
                              Jean-Yves Tea-for-two - pianist
                              Yves - Commune of the Charente-Maritime Department

                              (at least I hope that's the answer)
                              hercule, thanks for that, guessed it was Montand. Did you know there is a Commune in France which is simply called Y. (This is in pub quiz mode of course and totally irrelevant) in the Somme Picardie Departement. And is twinned with a Welsh village!

                                I'm a tad conphased now as I thought that all the links needed a musical connotation but I've just been back to Page 1 and it appears I have been under a misapplication. Which is either a good or a bad thing, I guess!
