That's a LIE!

Ahem. I meant to say, you're totally right about it being random, because I didn't get a single anchor clue while trying to solve my last puzzle box, and I had 30-odd clues. I kept thinking the next one would be it. I finally gave up and tried out a bunch of combinations till I could narrow it down to a few sets. I think I didn't even need the last clue in the end. :P I'd bump it up to 1 in 15 or 20, but on the bright side, they're not all that important either. :D (Okay, THAT's a LIE.)

Now if you want to talk about those NOT clues...

Nemesis Thwarted!
Emer has finally tracked down one of the most nefarious criminals in the known world, after an agonizing hunt in which the heroic detective successfully solved diabolical puzzles and risked life and limb during the pursuit.

Congrats Emer! :D (Sindy called it. :P)

(Oh, and when you get X is to the left of Y, and Y is not in the sixth column...that is a stroke of luck.)
