    I'm sorry, but as the closing date was never specified in the original competition rules, I believe you are at least morally obliged to honour the competition. And on YouTube, please, we don't want any allegations of cheating, do we? :laugh:

          "It's simple here in Paris, the French may be used for reducing growth."(10) This one is very hard, I will be amazed if it is solved quickly, (or indeed at all).

                              Once I'd remembered that "simple" was an old word for "herb", the rest was fairly easy.

                                    Congratulation it was very hard. I still do not see the relationship between Herb and Simple. It is time for the 5 minutes french theory 'Des' and 'Du' can mean 'of the' you're right. But also it can mean something that doesn't exist in English, I mean the plural of 'a' or 'an' (the *) below:

                                    ENGLISH FRENCH
                                    the broccoli = le brocoli (defined singular masculine)
                                    the apple = la pomme (defined singular feminine)
                                    the apples = les pommes (defined plural masculine)
                                    the broccolis = les brocolis (defined plural feminine)

                                    an apple = une pomme (undefined singular masculine)
                                    a broccoli = un brocoli (undefined singular feminine)

                                      As Geoff mentioned "simple" is an old English word for "herb".

                                          As Geoff mentioned "simple" is an old English word for "herb".

                                          I don't think it is quite the same: today we will eat some broccoli to me suggests a limited amount, nous allons manger des broccolis aujourd'hui is neutral as to the amount. I think you'd have to drop the "some" to get the same meaning in English, so "des" isn't replaced by anything. :)
