I won't hold you to it! In any case I haven't got very far yet

Me neither at the moment. Trying to get my head around a new job. I think I have managed 1 word!

Best of luck with the new job!

I have made a bit of progress but very happy to discuss as it is slow progress.

OK back home now. I'm thinking maybe I made the clues altogether too Scurraish? :lol: If you all want an easier set of clues I can do that, you just have to ask.

I still have more puzzles, just don't know if it's worth posting them if everyone has such a backlog! :lol:

Are you trying to get me to kick you out? :lol:

All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

I have had a bit of an unexpectedly busy month. I still want to solve the last puzzle and, as things are hopefully going to sort themselves out and calm down soon, I will get back to it.
I will ask if I am stuck. At the moment I am stuck for time and spare brain power. :(

Hints for February puzzle.
1. The four quarters are relevant

2. The position on each face is relevant

3. Full names are needed to extract the answer.

Hmm! I have a list of names....

Think I am out of practice at solving puzzles.

PS Was there a January puzzle? (says she who hasn't finished December's puzzle yet :roll: )

No, I didn't post one because nobody had done the December one yet*! :lol: There is a puzzle and I can post it if anyone wants me to?

*Apart from Strep's friend, I believe! :lol:
