I haven't done these 'moving squares puzzles' before, not sure how to do it.
But I see Clint Eastwood.

Puzzle No 66. 'Clint Eastwood' it is.

Both Cath and Marilyn have got it. I suppose its a bit like doing anagrams but with more restrictive rules.

Why is there an extra O?

Probably to make up the 3 x 5 grid. Leaving a blank would give the game away too easily and there is no stipulation that all the letters have to be used.

Puzzle No 55. Tripps is first off the mark.

Try the spoiler Tripps to hide it from the rest. The triangle with an asterisk in it.

Tripps have another try. Possibly when you first saw it I'd inadvertently put the wrong question to the segments. It now reads musical terms not instruments. Mea culpa.

Tripps I think Trump has put you under stress. Have another quick look and see if you can them to sound right.

Got it - I think.

Didn't help that I copied the wrong letters to my 'working out' sheet. :smile:

Puzzle No 49. That's three in a row for Tripps.
People may be wondering why the puzzle numbers are not sequential. The answer is easy, I dropped the cards on the floor and they got mixed up. Its a good job they were numbered and with a clever bit of mathematics I got them back in order but the die has been cast and we are stuck with it.

Puzzle 69. Panbiker's correct, Can't remember the score but it must be somewhere near level pegging.

Not a particularly hard one that, you only had to find one as it was common to all.
