Ooh, nice one. I am not sure my nan would like it though.

I am useless at setting them and do not have one ready, so will pass on this one.

Granadilla?

I haven't quite worked out a solution yet though, so I guess it's probably wrong.

I must admit, that was my thought earlier on but it doesn't tie in with the letter count. (Also the stone is granite)

So it wasn't just me, it did actually say 10 to start with?

I considered pomegranate too, but quickly discarded it due too count of letters. Perhaps if I had tried to work out the solution to it then it would have led me to question your counting.

Oh well, it's all for fun so it doesn't matter Smile | :)

It's just a typical capitalist ploy.

USB hubs were being produced for next to nothing and sold really cheap, and the marketing/sales morons couldn't do anything about it.

Then came USB 3, which gave them a chance to pretend that it was a new product -- one that had a captive market, because no-one would want USB 2 hubs, any more.

So now USB 3 hubs are being produced for next to nothing and sold with immense profit margins, and we ~~customers~~ suckers can't do a damned thing about it.

It's capitalism; the American way. Be proud that you're part of it.
