Can you solve it? Wordplay wizardry by the UK's king of quiz

[TurboCode]

Omg, I'm so stoked for this puzzle challenge ! I love how it tests your brain with all sorts of tricky wordplays and lateral thinking . The first puzzle sounds like a classic, but the way Frank presented it makes me wanna try it out ASAP . And those alternative puzzles? MIND. BLOWN. Removing letters from words to reveal new ones is pure genius .

But, tbh, I'm a bit skeptical about that last part with finding consecutive numbers in plain sight ... can someone pls show me how it works? It looks like it's hiding in plain sight (heh), but I need some help figuring it out . Still, can't wait to dive into these puzzles and test my linguistic skills !

i love this kind of stuff, its like a big brain teaser fest ! i mean, who doesnt love a good puzzle to keep the old grey cells ticking ? and frank paul is the man when it comes to creating these mind-benders – he's got skills for days . gotta say, the one with the 2 words side by side with vowels instead of consonants sounds like a real brain-twister . not sure if i'm up for the challenge but its definitely gonna be fun trying !

I love how Frank Paul always throws some curveballs our way . I mean, who knew "in a gentle way" could be "mildly" or "milieu"? That's some serious linguistic gymnastics right there!

But, gotta say, the alternative puzzle where you remove letters to form new words? That's just not my cup of tea...I mean, it's like trying to solve a reverse crossword blindfolded . Not sure how much I'd enjoy that one.

And don't even get me started on the last challenge! Identifying an astronomical event, fastening mechanism, and body part all related by their first and last letters being removed? That's just crazy talk . Like, what are the chances, right?

Still, gotta admire Frank Paul's creativity. And hey, for those of us who love a good brain-twister, this is like catnip . Bring it on! I'll give it a shot...but don't say I didn't warn you .
