I have some more Rebus puzzles:

enter image description here

Seeing how the first lot were a bit easy I decided to make these a bit harder. Good luck!

HINT FOR 3:

It has something to do with the fact that they are numbers i.e letters wouldn't work

Hint for 3 and 4:

For 4, it has something to do with the positioning of a certain letter/letters. For 3, there is no summing involved and the underlining just under lines the last number

Next lot: Even more rebus puzzles!

  • $\begingroup$ Since the duck one is kind of misleading (sorry) I have update the photo. And @greenturtle3141 I put all the letters in but it's not that relevant. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Not sure it matters as the answer was found but normally when you put one word/string 'in' another as part of a cryptic clue it is together as a whole, not interlaced with the other word. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The second in your list could also refer to the Australian countryside. $\endgroup$

Could the third one be

This doesn't add up.

because

for proper summing, you need the numbers to be right aligned?

Some alternative guesses..

Third one:

Bottom line

Fourth one:

Letter bomb

For the fifth one..

I quite like 'outback' instead of 'back out' here :)

My take on the fourth, based on the hint:

Cornered (Corner "D")

Any confirmation on which ones are right and which are still yet to be solved?
