But he never answered how could he be the one to got it? You mean if he where here he would have answered it?

Tom merely has to vote. By not posting the solution he's giving the rest of us an opportunity. You'll also find he sometimes responds with another clue for the same answer; his way of confirming he already knows the solution. The second clue can help see it from a different angle. Neither the original clue or his alternative seldom helps me, however.

That doesn't mean he didn't email DD privately...

That doesn't count

Why not?
Because he didn't share it with everybody else and spoil their fun?
Why do you think I don't answer them very often any more? I was getting complaints!

That's no maybe. You, Tom, and the others were too quick posting solutions. Since you all backed off and sat on the fence, chewing cheroots, and spittin' on the dirt by our boots I was able to solve one, and only one, answer and solution. That was my Horace Rumpole moment, solving the Penge Bungalow Murder.

That's why I stopped, in a way. Unfair to monopolise something, so I just try to ensure that DD can't win two days in a row....:EvilLaughSmiley:

Good one, in every base.

So then every woman is a 10? 
This space intentionally left blank.
|
|
|
|
|
There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who do not.
|
|
|
|
|
So, what about the remaining 10?
|
|
|
|
|
10 + 10 = 100, of course.

Hi
I keep seeing news articles on the 'internet of things' (web enabled fridges, cookers, washing machines & the like) and think it becomes 'well we stick a processor on it and sell it £X+ pounds.
The important thing is do people want it??

What?! Are you suggesting I can live without my web enabled toaster? 
Actually, my toaster[^] doesn't have any complicated electronics - it's all mechanical, even the timer is clockwork...
I would agree - I can (almost) see the idea of an "intelligent" fridge that works out when I'm running out of milk and reminds me to buy some (and most of my notifications are via email, so an internet connection almost makes sense there). But...no, I wouldn't get one for that (it would need WiFi anyway, because there is no way on this earth I'm running CAT5E out to the fridge).
I can't see that connecting everything in the house to the internet is beneficial to me, no. I can see advantages from the supplier end, but sod-all for the customer.
It's a bit like the old Sky box bit: "You have to have it connected to the phone line". No, you don't. Mine was connected until the engineer who fitted the first one left the building, but it hasn't been since.
