Thank you all for your contributions to this weekend's competition.
The people have had their say and the result is as follows.

In joint third place with five votes apiece we have Chris @2 and Swarbrules @7
In joint second place with seven votes each are Jono @6 and Fieryjack @29

The clear winner is Buddy @38 with an impressive 14 votes

This puzzle, in Chinese translation, is incomprehensible (7)

Congratulations Buddy

Congrats buddy and thanks geting.
Thanks for the votes. I'm a bit surprised that they were mostly for 2, as I preferred 19!
Surely the first solution to the matchstick problem moves two matchsticks? There is an obvious solution that moves only one....

Hey, a composite anagram wins the day. Huzzah! Thanks all for votes and to geting for hosting and prizes. To be fair to Hilbert, all discussions of his hotel stress "countably infinite" when describing the rooms and guests, so sneaking in an uncountably infinite set is not quite kosher.

After submitting the clue I thought a better surface would be:

Translation of this puzzle in Chinese is incomprehensible

Since composite anagrams are the only place where "the definition must be at the beginning or end" rule can be broken, but it was late and I didn't think the clue had a chance anyway. Shows what I know.

Congrats Buddy - next level!
Thanks Geting.

Thanks to Tyke (maybe I should have given it the full Viz!), to Sam, and Buddy (I think - meant 26? My Biden/Zelenksy clue).
Votes always welcomed.
