A very clever puzzle as we always get from Phibs. Many thanks to him for the entertainment.
I had to complete the whole puzzle before I could get any inkling on how to answer the question.
Excellent fun.
Thanks Phibs.
I’m still unsure of a couple of bits of parsing but reckon that I may have cracked the riddle so I’ll throw caution aside and go for broke. Thank you for the challenge, Phibs, you can always be counted on to make us work hard for the rewards!
What a pleasure as always to have a puzzle from Phibs to solve. It was satisfyingly challenging with a couple of bits of parsing needing quite a bit of teasing out but it all came together nicely in the end.
I did twig the common feature and answer at quite an early stage but wanted to finish everything first before submitting.
Many thanks to Phibs.
A clever and most enjoyable QPP. Several ticks to list and comments to make once the review is posted. For now, my answer is primed and ready to go! Fingers crossed…
Thank you, Phibs.
