    Yes, but I think there's something you could have added!

    Incidentally if solvers would like to identify themselves (even if only wih initials, internet handles etc) it would be helpful, as otherwise I don't know if it's the same Anonymous every day.

    Would this have ruined bobby's perfect 11/11?
