I think that was all of them

So do I get a tshirt then

Oh dear. I appear to have b*ggered up one of the clues.

I *did* wonder, but I took the clue "The next clue is hidden in the last place you would look. And don't get caught napping" to mean the smiley (< zzz &gt, under which is, surprise surprise, another clue.

* with myself and trying very hard not to swear*

I figured that the last place you'd look would be the answer. And what is the answer to everything?

I was stuck on that one for ages though. If I'm right then what was the don't get caught napping part of it about? I could have been wrong as well....

Aaargh! We was both wrong! I won't put the answer, but I just this minute figured it out.

I've hidden the answers for the people who came in first, this isn't moderation, just selective hiding! I'll unhide them when the hunt is over or it could give the answers away!

Does that mean if we think we got it wrong we can have another go?

Thanks Peta!

And thank *you* N7 for pointing out this rather obvious flaw in the Hunt.

Good luck! And cheers!

who spent ages wondering why there was no clue on the Bottom entry after the Maggie T clue

Remember these entries didn't break the rules, they've just been hidden by me so as not to spoil the game. They'll be back soon!

Okay, another go

Once I heard about it:

What's Coming Up = http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/ComingUp

Then somehow I skipped to find the answer to life the universe and everything. When I realised I'd done it wrong (on Nexus Seven's prompting) I spent ages looking for the right answer. I admit it was only when he reposted that I got the right idea. Technically, therefore, I cheated but I only looked at the first one (zzzzz) and worked the rest out myself.

Just finding a bad excuse for not being here earlier - I will never admit that Guinness stopped me for a long time!
But please give me an explanation about the caulkheads clue!

~ wonders why his entry got un-hidden ~

*wonders why my posting (10) is still hidden, but later ones aren't*

'Cos I went home and went to sleep!
