Congrats to
Nobby_UK, you won this round!
That must have been a piece of work!!
Only J.R. (the quiz champion of 2017) scored as many points as you, but he sent his contribution a few days later than you.
Thanks to all for participating (hey
Nexus!), and see you next time... in May! There are other users posting riddles for April (in the old maniac, Powerplay and Multimediaxis forums), if you suffer from withdrawal feel free to check there.
