I'm pretty sure the answer to #48 is a pen. "The pen is mightier than the sword!". 
To add my twopence to the chromosome detour, I think it is actually the presence of a Y chromosome that makes a person male, and there does exist a genetic condition where a person has only the X chromosome and no Y or second X (they're female). |

| Surely not the answer, but the blue beret of a UN peacekeeper seems an appropriate solution to 48. |

| Just to be sure, 48 is a pen, right? |

| Yes, that was the intention. If you're not sure, though, it doesn't fit my criteria of a good riddle. |

Hey Zag, I hope you don't mind that I borrowed a few of these to use in the Pirate Treasure Hunt. If anyone is interested, I can start a new thread (after the event) with the puzzles I used in order.
