Well, I prefer to answer University Challenge and Only Connect questions now in order to relax. It'd be a bit like asking Michel Roux Junior to make some oven chips. :lol:

Ah, what the hell. I'll give it a go, even a Chef should eat oven chips sometimes.

Edit: 15/15, twas kind of fun actually.

For example, i saw that "4" was both the 3rd number in "6245" and "1345". The only words which had the same 3rd letter were MAST and LEST, which meant "4" = "s". From that there was only one set of numbers for Q7 which began with a "4" (for STEEL) and only one set of numbers which had a "4" as it's 3rd letter (for TASTE).

I didn't make the same assumption and ran out of time, 12/15 :oops:

and a glass of wine probably didn't help either...
