Ruskie threw down the challenge.....I just got the ball rolling, Jenn.  :D

It was the great team work and co-operation that led to our wonderful success for Nick, Kooka, and Dell.

Hopefully we can help others in similar fashion ......Rootschatters are the best!

This has been a really wonderful thread, thanks to all of you who worked so hard for this great result.

I honestly thought when I started this on Anzac Day, that it would just be a bit of a challenge for rootschatters on a public holiday.

I couldn't have imagined what an outcome it'd bring.

Great isn't it?

Hi All,
Just had to add my congratulations to all of you - found this puzzle this morning and it's now 11.18pm and I've just finished, with breaks in between!!!  It's fascinating and just shows how helpful Rootschatters can be.  I also had help a while ago from Jenn and others.
Regards
Hollyd
