There seem to be different versions of this card floating about. I have two copies and both differ from perfecto's above. Scan is below.

6A - Towers in Gondor
1E - Dante's circle's of hell
3F - Minimum for a chord
8I - Points on a sheriff's star

The answers seem to be the same (not confirmed yet, my partner, who has the patience of a saint is sudoku-ing her heart out as I write...I really don't have the patience), although I think you could quibble Dante's circles.

Have we seen multiple versions of the same card before? Mine was from Firebox and both were identical.

My card has the same clues as yours. I just changed the clues accordingly to what MC had said. Im glad they did change them TBH as the answers were a bit sketchy:

6A - Towers in Gondor - Could be 2 - 4
1E - Dante's circle's of hell - 9 (Creating two 9's in one column)
3F - Minimum for a chord - Diff kinds of chords - not just the music type!
8I - Points on a sheriff's star - A quick google image search could be 5 or 7

Im guessing thats why MC changed the answers, if im wrong please correct me... Confused

OK, so we have solved the card.

What about the Chinese looking characters in the background?

Anyone know what this says?

ARGH!!! I've just spent hours trying to solve this, noticing problems in my answers to the questions, getting a sudoku with 2 answers (yes, 2 answers) and many other things wrong and now I've just noticed the corrected stuff and am pretty annoyed, no wonder I had so many problems.

I just spent 3 HOURS doing this one. Finally typed the answer in expecting to celebrate, only to see the words 'bad luck'.

I've checked through the thread and found that the answer to 4A (Holy for Christians) is 3 and not 7. I think it was perfectly reasonable to say 7 is holy - the Christian holy day is Sunday, which is the seventh day, God made the world in 6 days and the 7th day was a day of rest, old testiment blah, blah, blah.

Unfair Mind Candy! I think you need another correction for that question too Evil or Very Mad
