Great answers today from Alan, Rosala, CPhill, Zegroes, Bertie, Geele, Heureka, reinout-g, NinjaDevo, TreefAM, Scrutinizer, Problem, Sally1 and Kitty
Rhino also posted a great puzzle. It is a recurring one but a really good one. I have given it the green puzzle icon and added it to the sticky note 'Puzzles'. Thank you Rhino.
I almost forgot. Reinout-g has put a repetitive and recursive curse on CPhill. He can adjust the pain levels as he sees fit. Of course CPhill does deserve it. Headless and now cursed. Some knights are brave but not so smart!
In the last day or so there has been some rudeness aimed at answerers. Sometimes this is verbal other times it is in the guise of subtracting points even though the answer is not incorrect. I do not think this should be tolerated. It is my position that core members should back any answerer who has reason to feel s/he has been treated rudely. An apology should be sought and if it is not forthcoming future questions should be whitened out or not answered. The question asker has three basic choices:
1) Apologise (and return points) and it is over.
2) Leave the forum altogether.
3) Rebirth with a new username. (If they do this then it would usually be an indication that they know they have crossed a line and they are likely to behave better second time around)
I can not do these things alone. If you think this is a reasonable policy then I need your help to enforce it. Let me know what you think.

I am too tired right now to think about reinout-g's logic but it looks interesting.
An old one but a good one.

So far I am both too tired and too busy to appreciate this properly - maybe some fun for my morning!
Thank you reinout.
