    Enjoyed trying this, I have to admit that many had me flummoxed.

    The one that puzzled me most is the number 24 being Silvermines isn't the expression "carrying coals to Newcastle"

    Great brain teaser one a day for 44 days would have made a great thread.
    It is Newcastle not Silvermines
