FINIS!!!!

Many thanks to those who helped, in particular to LAT for guiding me through the looking-glass world of the Renaissance section and helping me traverse the Scurralous route from the completed grid to the finishing line.

WHEW!

Now I can give my brain a bit of a rest until Christmas... unless Squirrel comes up with something nutty to send us loopy until issue 2 comes out. :lol:

I wouldn't say SparkOut has "finished" exactly. But he has found Madame Arcana's prediction, so congratulations are in order.

And my guess that no-one would come close to solving Pisces before someone found the final answer has been proved right :lol:

Thanks - I don't feel congratulations are in order too much though. I'm feeling a bit deflated about it to be honest - I only tried making a stab at the answer having played around with the list of answers I had and sort of stumbled on an idea and put 2 & 2 together to make 26.
I really don't have an idea about the last puzzles at the moment, and I'd like to get those knocked on the head before celebrating.

Oh I don't know. You've now demonstrated that you have figured out how it works, even if you've still got some missing answers. So I think congratulations are definitely in order.

Now the real question is how long you can resist those ever-so-polite requests for hints? Because people have learned that they can't get any from me :wink:

Congratulations to Sparkout.
Scurra suspected you might be first to get the final answer when we were chatting over Christmas - I reckoned it'd be one of the girls but I guess Scurra knows you all well!
So, how long before you work out the fish?
