Post by ChrisGreaves »

Puzzle: I’ll provide the answer on Wednesday (and then get kicked out of Eileen’s Lounge for good, probably ...)
Cheers
Chris

mp3 files are rarely needed to discuss the kind of issues we help people to resolve in the lounge, and the fewer file types we accept the lower the risk we pose of infecting people.

makes sense to me!
Thanks Stuart.
(I figured that forcing an un-zip process means that downloaders are given a chance to think before running a file)

Well!
I AM pleased to hear that.
Makes a nice change :evilgrin:

OK.
For those of you currently online and want a second shot at this, I'll give you this hint at 10am EST.
I'll give the full answer some time this afternoon.
Spoiler
There is a reason I had to issue the puzzle as an audio file.

OK, since this might be my last post here, ... Thanks for all the help (grin!)

I was hoping for an answer along the lines of "A car windscreen" :sad:

Did you record that, Chris?

If so, I think you've managed to remove all traces of WA from your accent.
