Were you able to help the UKAR Pink Wafers in their quest to find Moley and solve this clue?
You don’t need your fingers to figure out this clue but the answer will certainly fit you like a glove. Take a hit single by a famous LA vocal group that are also a handy place to put your beverage from the year the King became a G.I. and it will make things clearer. Certainly clearer than the view you’d get from the tallest possible tree.
Think you’ve cracked this little clue? Then link fast food royalty with the first flight of an invisible fighter and you'll be feeling like a diamond geezer when you figure out this golden year, but please don't talk back to us when you’re the one wearing rose tinted spectacles.
The code breakers at UKAR HQ have been busy with your help and have finally cracked the clue, did you get the right answer? Let's find out!
- "You don’t need your fingers to figure out this clue but the answer will certainly fit you like a glove"
= A fingerless glove is a Mitten - "Take a hit single by a famous LA vocal group that are also a handy place to put your beverage"
= A coaster is a handy place to put your beverage, a famous LA group were called the Coasters - "From the year the King became a G.I. and it will make things clearer"
= Elvis joined the US Army in 1958. In 1958 the Coasters had a hit song called Yakety Yak - "Certainly clearer than the view you’d get from the tallest possible tree"
= The tallest theoretical height of a tree is 130 metres. - "Link fast food royalty"
= Burger King or.... BK - "The first flight of an invisible fighter"
= British F-35s are given the identifier BK. The first flight of a British F-35 (BK-1) was in 2012 - "Diamond geezer when you figure out this golden year"
= The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympics were both in 2012 - "Don't talk back"
= A famous lyric from the song by the Coasters called Yakety Yak
So the answer was of course, the appearance of the........ YAK 130 'MITTEN' in 2012!
