Y’all know what would be really neat would be to collect all the clues and their correct answers into one post. Might make a good reference for what not to use in future ones.

It’s so fitting, though. \*\* Right on Z\_25. Yeah, I saw the misspelling after I had hit submit, and somehow thought of The Holy Grail and Terry Gilliam. Bummer on several counts. ---
