4d: Strata (gems)

Thank you Djawhufc and Elle.

Glad to help, Nina!

Hi elle et al
I see the word play for STRATA, but where is the definition?

' stratagem' means plan for deceiving an enemy; an artifice?
You know I'm not very good at this, Chris - isn't that enough?

Thanks elle - you do yourself an injustice!

I didn't make myself clear - it's the "strata" that isn't defined, I think.

There would be complaints if it had been in the Guardian!
