Listener No. 4333 - In the Event of Fire by Flying Tortoise This thread is for the traditional 'elliptical' discussion, comments and thanks to the setter. If you want to participate in a more direct...
I love the way this is thematic. The quotation has raised a smile though I am still wondering how to make sure that letters are entered in the correct order in 'all entries'. Many thanks Augeas for a...
Well, those who have been moaning that the early ones were too easy have what they wanted here. This has been a real challenge, growing easier as it progressed, of course. We still have some ends to...
