Denis, you're never disagreeable. You just can't clue a single random letter out of a word. Not even in the UK. That's why we use words like first, last, ultimate, initially, or else abbreviations. I don't want to "win" because I wield the noodle, I want to win because (a) I'm female and (b) I'm right.
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

Thank you CD. Good luck with the noodle Place prophet on Ganges boat (6)
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

If I give him the appropriate number of lashes, he won't survive. Especially with the relish I'll apply to the task in this instance.
Ten lashes, Denis.
Rodents go blind after removal of part of eyelids?(4)
rodents (direct) = mice
So... the rest makes no sense and is not a cryptic clue. Removing the i from mice leaves mce.
You're confusing wordplay with cryptic clues, I think.

Nervously: pitch (tar) (double def)?
Since quiet = low-pitch...

I like that answer, Denis. Quiet is a low pitch. My answer is a bit more devious than a double definition.

paths quiet = sh touch = tap up = reversal ind.
The best math you can learn is how to calculate the future cost of current decisions.

Pass all the pebbles in your path and you will find you have crossed the mountain. And don't forget to wear the belt:
