| The ones that I haven't got that are bugging me because I used to own/play with them are 20, 26, 28, 45 and 86. 89 is bugging me somewhat because unless I'm missing something (which I clearly am) it is just two people and there is no toy in sight. Anyone want to help me out with these? I can offer any or all of: 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 11 12 13 14 16 17 18 19 21 22 24 25 27 31 33 34 36 37 40 41 42 43 44 46 48 49 50 51 53 54 55 59 60 62 63 64 65 66 68 69 70 72 73 74 79 80 82 83 84 87 90 93 97 99 100 | |

| There used to be a "28" lying around my house when I was quite young... assume it belonged to one of my old brothers. I used to think it was some kind of weird calculator that didn't work! Still do to be honest. Would be quite grateful if someone could could tell me what it does | |

(probably still got it somewhere :S)Would be quite grateful if someone could could tell me what it does It asks you simple +,-,x,/ questions and when you got it right, the professor smiled and waggled his moustache at you (I seem to remember). | |

Jenners said: Oooh, I had one of them.... (probably still got it somewhere :S) Yes, you're right. I can remember it now.It asks you simple +,-,x,/ questions and when you got it right, the professor smiled and waggled his moustache at you (I seem to remember). Unfortunately, I can't remember for the life of me what it was called. | |

| Right. Only 8 more to go ... Anyone got any of these: 39, 45, 58, 77, 81, 85, 95, 96 ? | |
| |
| by Richard - Thu 21st Apr 2005, 10:49pm | |
| 39 I can only get "close" on. I know what product it is, but can't find what words I need to type in to get the correct answer 95 looks very similar to 43. | |

Is that cheating as in hacking the spreadsheet, or cheating as in using the internet to look things up, or finding the answers to the quiz out there on the interweb ?Hints for 45, 58, 77, 81 would be appreciated. | |

If you click on the CGQ Site link at the top of the spreadsheet you can follow the Clues link and search for Retro Toys. That gives you enough information for all of them.There's also a whole bunch more of these sorts of quizzes... | |
