Is TERRAPINS also a valid answer for the conundrum?
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Strictly, yes, but it's an obvious plural, although some were allowed as conundrums in the old days.Johnny Canuck wrote:Is TERRAPINS also a valid answer for the conundrum?
