Indeed it is, the 'g' and 'h' come before the 'i' in 'eight'.

right you are. silly me wasn't paying strict attention in her own head, although SB probably got 40 instead of 8, certainly would've made my cat look a lot less weird and pointy-eared :s
oh and i didnt mean sb got the first solve on the leaderboard, i just meant that she solved it before me, and i was posting her solve (as in the cat bit, not the numbers)
rach =)

Clickety click is how bingo callers announce that number.
Pele's shirt - not being a football (soccer) fan, I assume it was the number on the back of his Brazil shirt when he played internationals (rather than his club squad number)
Hope that helps!

Clickety click and Pele's shirt are, respectively:-
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
66 and 10
I got the same drawing as the one given (sorry forgot who posted it) but I can't work out what it is and now I'm locked out!
I tried
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
mule, donkey and horse
so I'm obviously barking up the wrong tree

I'd imagine at least the first person did
I think the image is pretty clear personally.

25? Say, anyone else wonder why the dot for 25 is grey instead of black? More importantly, any good theories?
Or am I just nitpicking the printing process.
