Dialling Codes

The puzzle has been made slightly more difficult by using the standard cryptographer's trick of grouping all the numbers into groups of three. The number 1 represents a space between words (or occasionally a hyphen between parts of a word). Any other elements of punctuation that may exist in names are ignored.

By clicking on each number you will be able to scroll down to the letter you wish to insert. You may change any of the letters you have entered at any time until you hit the 'Finish' tab.

Scoring

The par target is to complete the puzzle within 10 minutes without making any errors or using any hints. If you can attain that target you will score 100 points.

Your score will be increased or decreased by 10 points for every minute or part minute above or below that par target. No points are awarded if you exceed a time of 20 minutes.

Your score will be reduced by 20% for every hint you use and every error you make. No points are awarded if you use five or more hints or make five or more errors.

Examples

1. Puzzle completed without hints or errors in 7 mins 15 secs: Score 120
2. Puzzle completed with 2 hints or errors in 7 mins 15 secs: Score 120 - 48 = 72
3. Puzzle completed without hints or errors in 14 mins 45 secs: Score 50
4. Puzzle completed with 3 hints or errors in 14 mins 45 secs: Score 50 - 30 = 20
