Not the first outing for this theme in the Listener, but not for some time. Plenty of thematic material, some cleverly worked clues, not all the misprints jumping out. A good challenge. Thanks, JFD

Listener 4782 Life 2 By Hawk

To be honest we don't quite see the "similar" shapes in the mathematical sense although all the thematic elements resolve themselves nicely.

A tour de force, thanks Hawk.
