Ta ... though it was more like lots of small wins .. few hundred quid
at a time .. I'd be paying in three or four cheques at a time into the

Question - is it unfair if you spend the entire time a puzzle is being
run, some good number of hours, working out how it's done by writing a
program to decipher it, such that the next time a similar but even
more complicated puzzle appears, you can be the first caller in and
get it right ... much to their consternation!   Hilarious at the time,
but I should really have let that run all night too and got a much
larger prize..
