Fiz Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I got about six but I haven't got time to really try, sadly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've got 28 so far so have been entered to the draw for a Kindle Fire! Thanks Alison, but it's terribly addictive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I know. I keep getting progress reports from my sister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Agree with Janet - rather addictive and I too have got into the draw for a Kindfle Fire. Hope something similar is done - so clever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 BTW, can anyone tell me whether it's obligatory to sign in via Facebook or Twitter to enter the competition, or whether that's only necessary if you want the site to remember your progress so far? I think we're up to about 35 so far. Be warned: some of the puns are pretty excruciating. And it's a lot easier if you can actually stand on the tube platform and look at a full-sized poster.

Regattah Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm not sure whether you can log in without FB or Twitter, sorry. I've done it via FB but have most definitely opted to not post updates on my wall! I just CANNOT get the last 5! Really annoying! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I didn't log in at all - just gave my name and email when I got to the lowest prize level. You've done better than me Regattah - I haven't got past 28 yet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've also signed in by fb. You're better than me too Regattah and yes some of the puns are really terrible! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneL Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'm up to 32 and the prospect of me doing much work today does not look good. Thanks for posting this Alison - it's just like the Radio Times big quiz at Christmas! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Can't get the last 3 - so frustrating!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 What, all 75? Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 In a way I'm sorry I have finished it because I really enjoyed it. If anyone hears of anything else like this please let me know. I did cheat a bit - googled list of stations! DD found a discussion thread somewhere on the net and it seems that some people had completed it in a couple of hours!! Although very little was given away Took me a few days - found I needed to leave it and then go back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regattah Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I left this in frustration then went back to it the other day. I'm now up to 74 but simply can not get the last one. Porthesia, is the fish one a trick or a new/disused station or am I just being stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It's a trick. DD got it bless her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regattah Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hooray! Done it! If anyone else gets stuck on the fish one, let me know and I'll tell you. It really wasn't a fair one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 No it wasn't a fair one at all a couple of the stations weren't on the Underground either but it was still very good fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Yes, at least one is neither an Underground nor a DLR station (any more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxDaveM Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 is the fish one simply a red herring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 No, it's an actual answer, but I can't remember what now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regattah Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes, Dave. You can input 'Red Herring' but it it doesn't count as an answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Okay, I've located 73 of the subjects (and solved the majority of them), but where are the other two? Does the site prompt you in any way? It's so difficult to tell sometimes whether you've moved from hovering over one subject to another one, or whether the cursor is still on the same subject. Was there something hidden away anywhere that you hardly even spotted? If I can't actually *find* all 75, how do I solve them?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 We spent ages on this at work the other day, but had to stop when my boss got back from her meeting, although she did some too. We found quite a few, but haven't had time to finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I had trouble with the crosses - I thought all three were just one clue but there are in fact three. Also the dog next to the cake - again two clues - hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regattah Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The one I didn't spot was the shape in the dust on the side of the pub. I knew I had only one left to do and thought it was the fish. When I answered that but still had one left to do I was really confused! Have you got all the ones right at the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porthesia Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Oh gosh I don't remember the dust on the side of the pub and it accepted my Red Herring so not sure what's happening now! Anyway I rarely win anything so it was just fun for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 I had trouble with the crosses - I thought all three were just one clue but there are in fact three. Also the dog next to the cake - again two clues - hope this helps Got the crosses, thanks, but hadn't registered that the dog and the cake were two separate items! So that leaves me one unfound - I think I got everything from the back central area ... I note that once you've entered your solutions you no longer get a double-click prompt for those entries, so am hoping the site will make it clear what I'm missing once I've got up to about 70 or thereabouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 There's just over a week to go until the closing date for this: I've now located all 75, but haven't yet solved three of them! Oh well, not as if I really want Virgin cable anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Beelam Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 This is driving me nuts got 54, now off to find a list of stations, though I should be going to sleep... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Yipee. We've completed all 75. Non DD has been home from Uni for a few days and we've spent a few hours during the past couple of evenings finding the stations. It's been good to spend time together doing it. Having a large scale print tube map helped as I was struggling trying to read the lists of stations from a 'normal' tube map and the print is too small for me! Is there anything else like that on the internet that anyone knows about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Up to 73 now ... The one behind Ken is dreadful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
