James,
ReplyDeleteTurned el computo on, checked the feed and had the solution before your site came up.

Is it 'cos I am sinister?
STB.
Has to be, STB. N3 had our resident champ stumped for a while too.
ReplyDeleteN5's going to be a killer tomorrow though, I hope.
There's a gimme Sherlock Holmes coming up about 6.30 this evening.
The cherry tasted pretty awful. No wonder it was left behind.
ReplyDeleteAn easy one.
I simply moved the base and stem matches to the top. Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteNothing missed - you got it. Hmmmmm - too easy all round tonight.
ReplyDeleteMoving the base and stem to the top merely turns the structure upside down. The cherry is still in the same place. The cherry does not seem to be effected by gravity so it is unlikely to just fall out.
ReplyDeleteI'd have eaten the cherry by then.
