Thanks for this. I'm enjoying it!
I wandered by Wikipedia to check which was longitude and which was latitude, and until I saw the homepage I'd quite forgotten it was April Fools Day |

I haven't found this enigmatic statue yet, but it's worth noting that you can obtain how many letters are in the answer by typing until it won't let you any more. Could come in useful! |

I thought I'd take a quick peek... when I googled for one of the questions, the first hit was a list of ALL the answers |

Why do some people insist on spoiling it for others.
Anyway, glad to say that I have finished it. _________________ Lead on adventurer, your quest awaits. |

For anyone who has read "The Rule of Four", an amazing book IMHO (about a book that was written 500 years ago, that uses stenography, not unlike the puzzles we get here, ive read both books). anyway randomhouse.org has a puzzle (quest) section like the DaVinci code

Thanks for that, hyperbit. I've never read Rule Of Four but I may well do now. And since you live in Cambridge and I live just up the road, maybe you could lend me your copy?

How far up the road? I work in Cambridge but live in Bury. If you are close enough, sure you can borrow it _________________ uoznnz ufnl vhg kilcrnz |
