• a typeset collection of messages from the Fifteensquared website (presented by me)
• the tribute puzzle from the Financial Times (presented by Colin Inman)
• the tribute Telegraph Toughie puzzle (set by Elkamere, presented by Tom Johnson)

    Thank you jetdoc for the super pictures. Rufus said he was bemused, we were bamboozled. I think he was chuffed. (3,3,1,5,4,6)
