You aced it!

 

Only in rare cases, as I've said before, some puzzles just make immediate sense, many others have me thinking "WTF?"

 

A warning to those in power…

Well played @JimInOz

 

What can I say?

 

Just been listening to this (there’s a hint)

 

Antonin Dvorak, New World Symphony. A favourite of ours.

 

Good solve @Canuck

Well played!

 

Nobody shown in the clues is part of the answer.

 

(the Golden) Spinning Wheel
American Suit(e)
(Roo-Salk-ah) Rusalka

 

If you have answered with three possible answers, one of them is correct.

 

We get the composer fairly easily.

Ant/Ton/Inn
DeVore/Jack

And thanks to @Matty01, we have Rusalka.

I can't relate these two clues to anything though.



Pinwheel/Windmill/Spinner?
Bernie Madoff/Banker/Fraudster/Ponzi?

 

Perhaps a small stretch, but Madoffs Ponzi scheme and Dvorak’s Rusalka are spinoffs of fairytales- and Rusalka’s other title, opera 114 and Madoffs sentence for his crimes of 114 years offer a neat co-incidence

 

Ant = ANT
Weight = TON
Inn = IN
Devore Ledridge = DVOR
Jack = JAK
Pinwheel/Madoff = spin doctor = OPERAtor
Roo = RU
Dr. Jonas Salk = SALK
Ahh= A

So, Antonin Dvorak, Rusalka, was correct. But I wanted OPERA as part of the answer. But two of you did quite well. So I can’t give you a blue ribbon, so a red ribbon will have to do. Maybe this one was a bit tougher than my usual offering.

 

APTI?

 

APT, I reckon, with the author being
Epsilon, aka the 5th letter being E
Hem- M

Stir…

 

Why not have a new tack.

You have to answer the rebus with a rebus. Not the same one of course.

Or would that get a bit too confusing?
