Re: One quiz at a time
Just blame me, I have a broad back :) As I want to go to bed anyway (I'm one time zone ahead of the UK), I can live with a little delay. I already have a question and would be ready to go if permitted to do so. By the way, I explained the owls and nightingale proverb in the original thread: http://w...

After the new arrangement I still think the pattern is the same.
Now the two forms are:
1st line, 1st from left
5th line, 2nd from left

Re: One quiz at a time
the two forms are:
1st line, 1st left
3rd line, 3rd from right
both forms do only have one line and simply white space around them
(I hope you understand me, I couldn't even explain it any better in my mother tongue)

I didn't think someone would guess it straight away. I have to think of something more difficult the next time.
