I don't normally bother sharing my efforts at Strands, but I thought today's puzzle was nicely constructed.

That looks very methodical and sytematic! 😄

A fortuitous outcome, with a red herring and some lucky guesses

Ah well, we should enjoy the memories of those 2s and 3s! 😄

I can think we can safely conclude that you're back on the bike after the NZ interruption!

Jon Foster @jonfoster.bsky.social · 1d

Thanks, though not as nicely done as your effort!

I'm just recalling what I think were your own words: "nobody likes a smartass!" 🤣

National Trust members, remember to vote to keep out Restore Trust. The quick vote may not be your favourite thing, but it's the best way to stop them and not split the vote.

Remember there's an easy quick vote version to support the National Trust's top choice candidates. If you do wish to select your own candidates, here are the Restore Trust ones to AVOID: Gibbs, Goldman, Jenkins, Kerr, Omrani and Streeter. 2/2
