  • Note: Take A break/Thats Life numbers might not be active yet. It refused to send this morning (and usually does the morning Caz posts the answers) I would recommend waiting a few hours as it does cost you to send it even if it fails!

    Sorry if I am being thick - how do you enter these by text? Say if I wanted to enter the page 6 one? Thanks.

  • I think you just do them in the order of the pages, but if you don't want to enter one, just go on to the next one....

    IE "shin taxis snooped" (taken from answers to above)

    But don't quote me

    Has anyone texted successfully? I sent the text and I think it went through ok but I've not had the confirmation text back yet.

    I've just texted mine through and got an acknowledgement in under a minute - seems OK at the moment.

    :( I've not had responses for TAB or TL and they've both been sent in the last 45 minutes. Hopefully it's just my network being slow.

    Thanks for posting caz :D the puzzles were fun but very time consuming when I did them.
