The first three in were regulars: Dave H, Tony (demon) and PSC from Queeensland. However, there were 16 correct entries on the first day and 129 by the deadline. November's Genius (No 137 set by Qaos) was clearly a problem for those of our regulars who are not familiar with the concept of a basic 'Caesar cipher' code, based on alphabetical letter shifts ( see my attempt to explain how it worked here). Incidentally, if you read about the Araucaria puzzle (No 26,427) that we published on 26 November, the first anniversary of his death, in Alan Connor's article in G2 that day or in his crossword blog, a photograph of the grid for it that John Graham filled out in pencil while in hospital can be seen by clicking on the reference at the bottom left-hand corner of the Guardian crossword homepage.

So now I now also apologise to Chelmsford because, though it did not become a city until 2012, its parish church of St Mary the Virgin was upgraded to cathedral status a century ago in 1914, when the new Anglican diocese of Chelmsford was carved out from the then diocese of St Albans. In doing so, I expressed surprise that such an ancient place had not yet received civic preferment, when others like Brighton and Hove (in 2000) and Preston (in 2002) had done so, asserting that such nouveaux cities did not even have a cathedral or an abbey, whereas Reading has a fine abbey, founded by Henry I in 1121.īut I made the mistake of adding Chelmsford to that list.
