OK I have to go out so will summarise without Aristo’s clarification. Thank you everyone for such a wonderful plethora of clues.

If Aristo voted for Baccy 28 we have a tie for 3rd place between Paul H at 25, SS at 20, and Baccy at 28 with 5 voted apiece.

In second place we have Buddy 12 on 8 votes.

However thankfully we have a clear winner on 9 votes which is Jon with his wonderful post 11;

Congrats jono; thanks to paul & voters. Happy with silver; if my clue prevents only one person from seeing "Six" then I can rest well tonight.

Congratulations Jono and thanks to Paul and to my voters.

Buddy is droll

Congratulations, jono. Thanks for hosting, paul, and for the votes, spike, geting, and jono.

Well done Jono - enjoyed the challenge Paul - appreciate the votes & likes.

Well done, Jono. Thanks, Paul.

Appreciate the votes from Tyke, Geting, and Buddy.

Congrats jono and thanks paul.

Well done Jono. Think it’s time a handicap system was introduced - such as halving your votes and giving us lesser mortals a chance!

Thanks Paul for hosting and last week’s generous comment.

Also thanks for the votes.

Thanks all for the votes and thanks Paul for a fun challenge and quite the range of prizes. The African heavy metal scene is quite something, it even comes up in an episode of Detectorists :-)
Cheers all

Thanks also to my voters.
