Many thanks, Toorak, Cashier! NACW, last week's was a walkover for me, but Pabulum seems quite devious for the most part. Thanks, LancastrianOik, for the comprehensive hints that I am working through. I'll persevere with Pabulum!
Thanks, Matakari. Yes, this is a much tougher puzzle than last week. You will need all of your 13 years experience-just dig deep!
