Everyone on the revised list should now have the team password. Let me know if that still isn't the case.

Sparkout- you have Esme-you can't have our password too

(Esme is usually their secret weapon)

Sounds like you've been haing a nightmare, Katsmom. Thought we hadn't heard from you lately.

And re holidays.. I have to go back on Wednesday AND Thursday even though I'm not paid for it. Fed up? Yes, monumentally.

Good luck with the puzzles folks.

MY daughter goes back on the 3rd, but seemed to finish the Friday before everyone else in the town, so I expect the rest will go back on the 7th.

Had a go on the sample and failed (yes no change there), so goodness knows if I will of any use.

I am hoping that even if I am not much use it will wake my brain up for school and hopefully the teachers will let us off homework as it is the first week and I will therefore have time for puzzles in the evening.

Am I meant to be able to see that? Or will it spring into being when the puzzles start?

Or have I been banned/excluded?

You weren't on the list when Gill first posted it. Sneakily, she's been back and edited it without my noticing.

I thought I was on the list, but anyway, suddenly I can see it so thanks.

If you look, you'll see that your first posting in this thread is after Gill's long list (which was subsequently updated with more names.)

Now Lat is confused and thinks you are talking rubbish

LAt WAS on the first list, and in brackets I said she'd volunteered by PM- and Lat will have seen that list.

Then I edited it to add more names and lost Lat. However, for once I was paying attention, and added her back in again.

but yes, ultimately the fault was mine. Sorry Lat.

I think Ive got the link of the sample puzzle. Who else got it?

I've had a look at the sample puzzle, but I also noticed there's now a prologue, which isn't a puzzle, but sets the scene a bit. Seems to be a murder mystery, set in London, so there might not be as many Australian references.

i find myself agreeing to the austrailian biasing in the sample puzzle if youd just said Gough to me id have never have come up with the austrailian priminister

well untill i remembered SUMS is austrailian

then id factor that in

I actually solved the sample puzzle without asking for hints!

#54 Post by **strep98** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 7:23 pm

I've looked at the puzzles and

Also I can't access google docs as it says there is an error (not that I would have anything to put in them)

We were 23rd overall, which is pretty spectacular. (out of 254 entries)

#56 Post by **Wulfruna** » Wed Sep 09, 2009 7:32 pm

That is very impressive

Congratulations to all!

well done from me too - really impressed but I knew you lot would be good - how you work out these puzzles is pretty amazing. My OH cannot believe the complexity.

Just been catching up - Well done everyone- and that includes Sparkout, SoY backstage comic and the rest of their team.

( Who did beat the rest of us yet again

)

I just loved this one:

what on earth makes you think this has anything to do with Disney cartoons? - Scurra

Well, apparently everything as it turned out

In fairness to Scurra I was just doing word association "Donald and...."

So nothing made me think it particularly.
