[python-uk] Help solve a few riddles

[Anand Kumria]

Hi all,

>From the looks of things, quite a few of you enjoy solving riddles!

I believe I have replied to everyone who sent me an email - however this
morning Thunderbird upgraded itself. And quite a number of interface
changes have occurred.

So I may have missed your email.

If you haven't received a reply from me, please accept my apologies, and
re-send.

Thanks,

Anand
