If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba",

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Excellent solves and tries! I have something different for #9. wave

If you spell the words "absolutely nothing" backwards, you get "Gnihton yletulosba",
which ironically means absolutely nothing.

9 contains the word coliseum, so I think it must be an expression about a theatre or arena, but I cannot get further than that (yet): but is this even the right track...? headscratch
