OK, so we have solved the card.

What about the Chinese looking characters in the background?

Anyone know what this says?

Cheers ManleyM!

/me always check thread, always check thread you'd have thought I'd have got it by now wouldn't you!

My card has the same clues as yours. I just changed the clues accordingly to what MC had said. Im glad they did change them TBH as the answers were a bit sketchy:

6A - Towers in Gondor - Could be 2 - 4
1E - Dante's circle's of hell - 9 (Creating two 9's in one column)
3F - Minimum for a chord - Diff kinds of chords - not just the music type!
8I - Points on a sheriff's star - A quick google image search could be 5 or 7

Im guessing thats why MC changed the answers, if im wrong please correct me...

Scan is below. 6A - Towers in Gondor 1E - Dante's circle's of hell 3F - Minimum for a chord 8I - Points on a sheriff's star The answers seem to be the same (not confirmed yet, my partner, who has the patience of a saint is sudoku-ing her heart out as I write...I really don't have the patience), although I think you could quibble Dante's circles. Have we seen multiple versions of the same card before? Mine was from Firebox and both were identical.

Mikeyj The Card has been changed due to errors the new questions are on the first post on this thread

Spoiler (Rollover to View): 3 is holy for christians (the holy trinity) and there are 4 blood types.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I don't think 3 is correct for the holy thing, there are definitely 3 towers in Gondor which would put two number 3's on line A
