Listener 4138: The X-factor by IOA

I looked down the list of letters thinking: no clue lengths, no clue numbers, no idea which is across or even, 26 numbers to choose from. Aargh! Luckily, once it gets going, things speed up and to a nice aesthetic finish. A debut in the sense that I have not solved either of IOA'a previous two Listeners (last in 2004), but this one I enjoyed - probably because it had a conversion and PDM to look forward to. Thanks IOA

Thank you, bellabee - it's always good to be appreciated.

Well, I managed the grid fill okay, but I'm having no joy at all with the 'encoded instruction'. Could anyone e-mail a very oblique clue? [email protected]

Paul - use the letter for numbers code you have established (A=1, etc) to decode the grid, read in the normal way.

As usual a late finisher - why don't I get started earlier? I loved this one, but I am not sure that I found the most logical way into it. I will look forward to fuller explanations of the route to follow sometime - is there somewhere to find that out after the solution is published? My hearty congratulations to those who were entirely logical - I had uncertain use of spreadsheets. Fantastic denoument - how on earth was it built up? IOA - this was brilliant! I love the number ones at least as muchas the "normals" so the list of "pros" can have another 1 added.

Mysterons, thanks, I have tried that, but it doesn't 'read' to me. It's possible that I have gone wrong, but it all seems consistent. Do I have to decode it further?

Got to the same place on this one when DaveTheHat got stuck. Wittled down some of the letter values but no further progress made. Any hints?
