NOTE:The Clue that appears in #23 should have been at #15. Since the participant had used a different name, it was not correctly picked up and points had been inadvertently deducted before declaring results. We will try to restore it and although it does not impact the Top 10 or the overall leader board, the error is regretted.
SR: Congrats Kalyan. – Your clue is now in our HALL OF FAME. Also Check out the Leaderboard for 2023.
