That was far harder than it should have been. I used a made up word as a guess in there, which turns out is real if really obscure.

Happy enough with that solve. Not a word I particularly relate too these days.

Hamas just gave Israel the justification needed to utterly crush any hope of Palestinian independence. That don't even have to pretend any more.

"PM says Israel at war after 150 killed in attack from Gaza"

What I really want is an AI that can talk to me in my ear, and hear my questions. We're pretty much there, which is awesome! I'm also envisaging a home AI (via Google Home and suchlike) that will get to "know" the family, that we can talk to.

They're not human, but still useful!

That proved elusive, though by the end I knew where the letters I had found had to be, and it solved itself.

My son said I'm "fun, sort of". I'll take that.

I nearly had it in two, but sadly made an alternative choice first.

Needed a ranging shot to get me on target, then nailed it.

So my tendency to drink many cups of tea/coffee per day is written into my genes! What I've noticed is that caffeine has no noticeable effect on me; if I drink too much, I just feel a bit sick in the stomach. No jittery, shakes, anything like that. Kind of means I'm missing out, I guess.

Went well, good guesses and deduction. I still suspect that having a broader than average vocabulary hinders more than helps.

GG. Felt like the path least travelled, but really as best I could hope for without a lucky guess.
