I have been really bogged down with family birthdays etc this week, and I forgot about this.  Do you want to leave it up for another 24hrs or take the points and post a new one CMF, as I should have time later to play it?

OK, since this one is pretty easy, I'll leave it 24 more hours. If anyone else has the answer, and I am sure they do, don't be shy

Isaac Asimov before his "Wolverine" period?

That was actually quite difficult as I couldn't get the whole "Fred Hoyle" thing out of my mind, and was then convinced he was British.

indeed, that's him.
He was also a stumper in the Spectacles game, so I thought that someone would remember him

Nope, not even close.

The countdown mod is yet another one that has to be edited in manually But I'll try and get it sorted this afternoon.

I'll re-up this if anyone is interested.

(something weird happening with the countdown tag.  I had to adjust the time according to my offset..?)

[smokester]

The Countdown tag has been removed for the time being but as this is too hard a game for most I don't supposed having an expiry time is that important.

6 months later and I still have no clue.
