Thank you so much for doing this, Annie. I hope too that it will help make it easier and clearer for those on phones, etc, and others.

So, we're going to keep these question numbers fixed from now on, are we? (I was updating them each time, but I can see how that's caused some confusion with people reading earlier updates and taking those to be the current Q numbers.)

Could you edit to add that #9 was solved (by Moonie I think) : waxy taxi.

I'll have to try and learn how to Copy and Paste now, if I want to contribute a full update. Are we meant to copy the whole list, with edits, every time there's a new Q and Solution, or just every couple of days/whenever the list gets too long and cumbersome?
