Spike, re #63. I use the Windows Character map to put in accents, as I couldn't get the ALT Codes to work.
I imagine there is an Apple equivalent. Not that I need it often....

Pleasantly surprised to win - I thought there were a dozen possibles, thanks to Jono, Dorrien, Aristo & Tatters (very sporting gesture! Tatters) for your votes - much appreciated. Thanks for an excellent competition Mattrom - look forward to seeing you all on Xmas day! 😷

Jono, the conjunction is supposed to be visible here tonight, an hour after sunset. It's cloudy, though, so we may miss out.

Hope the skies are kind to you Mattrom. We were very lucky here with clear skies and could see it from just after sunset for about two hours. If you miss it there’s another, not quite so close, in 2,080, and then it’s a long wait til 2,417 :(

Good one Tyke. Nice pun.
Thanks for your vote MPFS and the comment. Appreciated.
That sounds very ancient now Mattrom. The Grateful Dead have a dedicated channel on Sirius (N.America) - can hear them all day!

Good competition.

@Mattrom

Much appreciate the info. As you may remember, I have problems posting from my PC, that's why, on the not so often occasion I'm victorious, I can't put a link for the prize. I remember you kindly posted the link for me once, as has Buddy. I therefore use my Kindle Fire for PR/WPR. I hope that I can get someone to sort it one day! That may be a way off yet as I am now in coronavirus tier 4, so no one can visit!

I've made a note of what you said, so, one day.....
Thanks again.

Well done tyke, like the maths connection.

Congratulations, tyke! Really neat. Thanks for hosting, mattrom, for the vote, buddy, and for the mentions, jimmy, spike, and dorrien.

Well done, tyke51, and thanks for the like, dorrien. I'm heading for double-bogey golfer soon unless I get a grip.

Jimmygtal, many thanks for the vote. What do you think of faiton's chess reference @49?

Thanks for the comp. and the clip, mattrom. I was too old for the Grateful Dead but it sounds as though they had respect for Chuck Berry. I do like a driving backbeat.

Congrats, tyke. I really liked your clue. Thanks to the illustrious mattrom for hosting and to tango and tyke again for the votes, although I will have to share tyke's vote with Dylan Thomas. These competitions are so much fun, and I appreciate the cleverness of all of you. Happy holidays!
