KeymasterFor which one? Harry
10th May 2020 at 2:28 pm #48181InactiveIf the maths is correct I get [A right answer! Well done, Harry]
Also, do you mean the Khatun Mausoleum? [Yes, have updated the text in case anyone was too confused.]10th May 2020 at 2:28 pm #4817910degrees-admin
KeymasterEither! (Of the ones without a posted solution…)
10th May 2020 at 2:29 pm #48178InactiveFor puzzle 7 I offer [Good choice! Harry]

Keymaster[Thanks for posting! Will check the solution to the corssowrd for you later! Harry]
Not sure about 15 down as the clue is not how I would normally define the word, but I hope the rest are ok…
[Ah, nearly right. Your uncertainty about 15 down is well founded. Not quite the right answer. Harry]

KeymasterHere is my method of doing Challenge 6:
1) Find out the twist! (Completed…)
2) Solve the crossword! (In progress…!)
3) Celebrate in your desired fashion!! (Will complete…soon!10th May 2020 at 9:06 pm #4819410degrees-admin
Keymaster6 has an error?
[That is just teasing! You should at least tell me what it is. Harry]
10th May 2020 at 9:08 pm #4819610degrees-admin
KeymasterNevermind I got it
11th May 2020 at 10:51 am #4819910degrees-admin
KeymasterFor puzzle 7 I got [The right answer! Well done. Harry]

KeymasterMy answer for (GCHQ) Challenge 7: [Intriguing (and correct) choice. Well done. Harry]
11th May 2020 at 5:26 pm #4820610degrees-admin
KeymasterI am nearly there with Challenge 6! (Good crossword, isn’t it? And how am I meant to get 7 Across if I can’t find the answer anywhere???)
[Have you tried watching Wallace & Grommit? Harry]
11th May 2020 at 5:28 pm #48204InactiveAside from the seemingly obvious answer – […] – I will offer […] for the answer to GCHQ Puzzle Challenge #7.
[You are not the first to offer this solution, though strangely you were the first to offer the obvious one! Harry]
11th May 2020 at 8:14 pm #4820810degrees-admin
KeymasterFor puzzle #7, if I have worked it out correctly, I assume the obvious one is [Yes it is!].
But much more impressive to look at [That is beautiful, Harry]
12th May 2020 at 1:51 pm #48215InactivePuzzle seven – [Correct! Harry]
14th May 2020 at 5:19 pm #48268InactiveFor the crossword, the only one I can’t get is 15 down (looks like others are also struggling with this clue).
I have [PI] _ L _ _ E, and I know one of the _ must be a two-(Roman-)letter Greek letter based on the “(8)” in the crossword clue. I had thought [Correctly, Harry], but that’s not how you spell […]” and doesn’t quite fit the clue.
Am I at least on the right track, or is one of my existing letters incorrect (in which case, […….] must be incorrect also)?
[No, you are on the right track! Harry]
