Clue Chain 5

[miser]

The idea of the game is that the setter poses an original home made clue which everybody is invited to solve. The poster who solves the clue first (hopefully identified by the setter) is then invited to post their own original clue.

I would suggest that if a clue has been posted that nobody can answer and is not being monitored by the setter a new clue should be posted. The setter can always give an answer later if they wish. I do not wish to set Clue Chain 6 so if it becomes necessary would another Cluechainer do the honours?
