ARRGGHH – Three enigmas wrong in a row! Choc finar.
San Marino Grand Prix this weekend. Qualifying 11.30-13.15, race 12.15-15.15.
Got another enigma wrong – that’s two weeks running now! My comment for that one was very easy enigma – 15 mins on the train. This weeks seemed to be fairly straighforward, but I’ve lost my confidence now!!! Also had an IC Radio meetup on Saturday, which was great – ’twas good to see everyone […]
Got an enigma wrong (1122: Chapter and verse) 🙁 Lost my working too, so I can’t trace my mistake. Ah well. This week’s was a bit tedious (did it with the aid of a calculator). On the plus side, I’ve jigged around these pages a bit though, and registered an internet domain (eutony.net) 🙂
New Word: immure \ih-MYOOR\. To enclose within walls, prison, to entomb.
Well, Fridays Enigma again was solved using a computer program (but a very nice one – I enjoyed writing it!). Hope do one on paper soon. I’ve also rehashed my reviews section, and put up some book reviews – check it out!

MIR’s splashdown has also been delayed until Friday, and apparantly there’s going to be blizzards this evening! I […]
Don’t forget – Malaysian Grand Prix this weekend (06.45 – 09.05 Sunday morning on ITV) Also just found a most cool site – Star Wars in asciimation
Mir’s return to Earth has been delayed until March 20th. So that’ll be 3 days after my birthday then (hint hint <g>)
