This route card was your joint favourite with an average rank of 8.2. Not even any queries on the letters route check!
Scores were very good and plentiful until one competitor pointed out that the end of my route was wrong. A LWR was required in the last grid square and I had completely forgotten that you can end (and start) a route card on a NTR.
Part 1 was grid line crossing with one LWR thrown into the mix which gave
rise to the third W>Y.
In part 2 the grid lines were coded and The Third R (arithmetic) was needed
to solve it. First you had to associate Kronenbourg with 1664, simple for the
lager drinkers and just a quick google for the non-drinkers. Then to get the
grid line number by figuring out the arithmetic I had used to represent it,
adding and multiplying the numbers e.g. grid line 88 = (8+8)(8*8) 1664, 89 =
(8+9)(8*9) = 1772 etc.
RC5 - An answer of 4 or 5 was allowed due to a query in grid square 8387.
Does the yellow road turn to white just before heading under the bridge? I upheld my decision (controversial to one or two of you) that the shortest route in 8586 was via the white because of the amount of comments which agreed with this.
