Good morning everyone!

Late start today & the first thing I see is a mistake on the grid for this puzzle...

I emailed Chris Feetenby & he sent me the corrected grid, saying -

"...I have attached a correct grid in rtf format which, if you wish, you may print out and submit for the competition, attaching it to the printed grid...".

Corrections are these -

From the left, 4D begins in the 6th box
The 1st black square should be 3 boxes further on, with the 2nd black box 3 squares below that
12A should be 1 space further to the left, so 4th box in from the right

The grid is sitting on my desktop & if anyone can tell me how to make it available to everyone, I'd be grateful!

Thanks for your time & attention, Lie-in King

Can you tell Feetenby to publish the correct grid
on Google.

In fairness, I don't think I can "tell" him do do anything...

I'll probably regret this later, but if you email me at -

I'll send you the grid back & the same goes for anyone else...

Obviously no Eds about to make this "sticky"...

I've got to leave the PC for an hour or so to see my neighbour's ok - if anyone asks, would someone be kind enough to point them here?

Many thanks & I'll get back to the e-mails asap...

Hi methyl - to the best of my knowledge, as long as the finished grid is entirely legible, it should be accepted - good luck! :-)
thanks for your help

Thank you all for your nice comments! I think I had 30-odd requests & hope that everyone was able to print the grid ok.

With Phillip's help, the completed grid is now available on Mitch's site at -

Be well all, Lie-in King :-))
hmff I've just sat for ages and realised grid was wrong when I worked out a few answers. Worked out the whole thing from scratch and only just seen this here. Still happy I got it under my own steam :)
hmmmff I have just sat for hours saying this couldn't possibly work as the answers I had didn't fit and I knew they were right. Worked out the whole thing without a new grid using logic only and feeling quite smug :)
