I used 16 so going with 20

Anybody else having trouble hitting Submit today? The button seems to be 'blocked' by the images around it

Isn't Reg 20 the Isle of Wight? Looking at the very useful overlay map in your post 26, and identifying where the M3/A303 interchange is, imho Andover is clearly in Reg 16.

You're quite right - I meant 17, the one with Chichester in it. I've looked again and see what you mean about Andover - it's obviously further north than I thought it was!

I'm not with it today... I'm going with this, whenever I can actually use the button. The paperclip overlaps the submit button and I can't press it



*edit*
I zoomed in a bit and the text/images resized but the button didn't, becoming available to click (in case anybody else was having the same issue - Ctrl+ / Ctrl- )

Sneaky, two clues in a row!

Clue 16:

"An apostle’s bones will help you first. Where The Blue Stane pub might quench your thirst. A ‘boar’s peninsula’ was once its name. Now sport is its main claim to fame. Its sands once starred on the cinema screen. In Chariots of Fire’s opening scene. You’ve cracked another, you’re on a roll. Now celebrate at the 19th hole! www.belhavenpubs.co.uk"

Answer is St.Andrews, Scotland Reg 1

St. Andrew's bones, patron saint of Scotland
Blue Stane pub is in St.Andrews
From Wiki - The earliest recorded name of the area is Muckross (from Scottish Gaelic Mucrois, meaning "Boar's head/peninsula")
Chariots of Fire opening scene St Andrews beach
And of course (pun intended!) golf

Link (pun intended!) brought over as well: http://www.the-kings-ransom.co.uk/

Every time I go back in, everything is back to the beginning. None of my answers have saved.

I've not had that problem, but others have if you read back through the thread. The obvious suggestion is that you wait until the final clue has been solved, and enter everything then.

Make sure you're actually logged in. When I registered it didn't automatically log me in so everything I entered the first time didn't save. Have made sure I'm logged in since and it's been fine

And also log out each time you have added new results and submitted.
