Registered team members are 10. We usually only register 1 or 2 . Anyyone who wants to join in is more than welcome. Unless anyone fancies jetting off to Melbourne just in case we should be in the top three :roll: we aren't eligible for prizes. At the moment I'm sending team name and team password by PM. Same system as previous outings.
Scurra will open up the closed forum before the day for all participants and somewhere we'll find the passwords etc for our joint idiotic ideas pages.

This was fun last time - my first 'joint effort' project. Count me in :)

Not sure how much time I'll have available, but I'll check in at the idiotic ideas pages and add my burblings.

That would be those idiotic pages that you've been known to come up with the answers to the puzzles for would it? :D

Multiple idiots all scribbling on the same bit of paper was strange to watch - but a heck of a way for collaberative working ;) I had one or two thoughts that others were able to run with.

(Still cheesed off I didn't say what I thought the star formation was - I would have been right) :oops:

That sums it up nicely MBH. :D Doesn't matter who has the ideas, or who solves the puzzle- just so long as it gets solved.

I recall yelling for help on a couple of puzzles because I could see wood but the trees were in the way. :?

Am I allowed to sign in at the end of each day and marvel at how clever you have all been? :?

Well, I have offered to look in when I can, and make comments if I can!
So who else will have a look to see what it is all about?

Well done - I think that's the basis on which most of us have signed up

I'm tempted to volunteer to help, but I'm not sure that I should. I'm going to get into trouble one of these days for the amount of time I spend online from work....
Are the puzzles in a form I can screenprint and work at offline?

But then, if there's no limit on how many people can sign up at this end, I might as well just in case! No idea what's involved at all, so please don't expect much! (after all, I don't think I've yet solved even half of a PB issue)
