[Ellipsis]

Thanks, that looks great ... 

[Tilly2]

I've managed to do one, so far!

[Tilly2]

P.S. I don't want any answers.

[Ellipsis]

No, nor me 😉

[Tilly2]

Done three now.

[JJ109]

I've done 1, 3, 4 and 2/4 of 5 -butI am going to have to return to the others later!

[Tilly2]

I can't print off the Spectator Christmas crossword so  I have time to work on this today.

[JJ109]

Typical as soon as I finished typing, I solved number 6!

Why can't you print the Speccie, Tilly? It is a larger crossword, but it prints off OK!

"GCHQ has released its code-breaking challenge, aimed at 11 to 18-year-olds."

Regression? 🤣

[Cloverjo]

Where do you usually get your Speccie crosswords, Tilly? 
I can't get to today's because all of the available devices I have are saying I've used up my free allocation for the month, even though I haven't. 
 

Anyway, the GCHQ quiz, I got the first answer. Will spend more time on it if I can't get the Spec

[Tilly2]

I don't have any ink in my printer, JJ. A replacement should arrive today.

I'll let you know later Clover. I need to ask for permission to post the contact details.

[Cloverjo]

It's ok, thanks Tilly. I've just got it somehow 

 

[Tilly2]

Good luck with it Clover. It looks challenging.

[jazzyjen]

Ha ha--- I finished!

Spent about 2 hours on it.

[ichkeria]

This is the easy one 😉

[Tilly2]

Well done, Jazzy Jen.

[jazzyjen]

To be fair, I asked my son (who has a maths degree) for inspiration on one of the questions.

[bookbinder]

Judging by my results on this quiz, I'll never be recruited as a spy.

1, 2, 3 & 4 ok

But stuck after finishing the first part of 5.
