IMPORTANT - ERROR IN ORIGINAL POST 

@Cleoriff @pgn @gmarkj @jonsie @MI5 @TallTrees @BobM @Oxonian @J9el @Spenny @Dave-O2 

The deadline in intro [ 11pm Tues 05 Nov] is different to deadline in Rules [ 11pm Wed 06 Nov].

In the circumstances, I am amending the deadline and when the answers and results will be announced.

You have until 11pm on Wed 06 Nov to pm me with your answers.

The answers and results will be announced and posted on morning of THURSDAY 07 Nov.

I apologise for this error, which is my fault and did not notice it earlier.

I sincerely hope this does not spoil the Brain Teaser, and hope, at least, it gives longer to solve the puzzles.

Please note - WRQ "Pink" Edition will still be posted on Wed 06 Nov, as previously scheduled.
