So had they all had an equal number of consonants and vowels, I'd have been right!
One day too quick, next day too slow, then too quick again. *sigh*
Are those extra two points worth the hassle, I ask myself

Was it donuts or doughnuts that Greebo was buying?

..using the same explanation as Gnomon, but based on the smiley-spelling 'donut'

Whooops so it is. I had a screamer on the phone while I was trying to work this out. Or else I wouldn't even have been so quick.

You had a "screamer on the phone"? What exactly is it you do for a living then DD?

The screamer was actually his boss telling him to stop p**sing about on hootoo and do some work.
