Having got the answer, Scurra's keeping it to himself/only vaguely hinting, so as not to be the one to set a new clue. So I told him to go ahead anyway.
(He is doing something similar in the rhyme game now too, in the italicised comment.) viewtopic.php?p=106895&sid=add912a0302b ... 0a#p106895

NB this is not an accusatory or critical comment, just intending to explain in lighthearted vein "I see what you did there" ;)

If Scurra solved this back in August then it seems to me it is his turn to set another one.
