@ Steve
I did try to set a clue but was really tired then found I had to go out all day yesterday. I enjoyed reading the contributions and thought bbm2 was a worthy winner. He would have had my vote.

It was good to see Faraday and I'm sure he/she will be a regular.

This thread was started earlier in the week when the forum was very quiet. It is busier at weekends, so hoping to see some familiar 'faces'. New solvers are always welcome.

I have been away from the Forum for a while. There seems to be a lot of invasive advertising now. I had also been expecting to see post number "1.24 by ten to the power of 24" in the 'personal chatty threads' ;-) Not that I have any issues with that.

I have Ghostery installed on my browser (Opera) and don't see any advertising at all. Have a look here:
