Thanks for the congrats everyone. I've still got 5 puzzles to go though. So very very well done to Wulfruna for doing them all.

I've got a week to go before I go on hols, so I'm most likely not going to finish in that time I think.

Cheers. BB.

Finally got the last answers.
Cavalier d'Epee was a bognor, but managed to get it eventually. La Justice was also baffling me, but had a 3am moment and realised exactly what I had to do.

So that's 21 fully solved, 3 solved but incomplete and 1 vauxhall (there were 2 vauxhalls, but I solved La Roue de Fortune).

From the 'New Words' thread:

vauxhall (noun): an answer to a Puzzlebrains puzzle which has been achieved by an educated guess rather than actually working out the puzzle. (Referring to the 'Vauxhall' puzzle in Down The Tube.)

This is because I got the answer to the 'Vauxhall' puzzle by looking at what I had from other puzzles, rather than from going through the process of solving it.
