Perhaps harsh to classify as a crime, but the accused is known to prefer a high bar.

Please add /sideways stars for me when possible.

Could be; seems fine from here, now (different device)

Looks fine to me (though nothing like the image currently showing above), provided that the P in WPS (rather than simply WS) is correct.

I have a very slim chance to attend, but would have to confirm closer to the date; best to assume I will not be available for now. Upgraded to sufficiently hopefully that I have sought and obtained permission; will not be able to be definitive until Thu/Fri (work-related). Confirming I will be atte...

We are all already doomed. We are all going to die. Eventually. Don't Panic.

Surely that would have been The Sheilas' Cup, unless you were deliberately quoting an Australian crime<cough>.

oops

And for those desirous of an ugly methodology: Glenn listed letters. With the five-character constraint it could be either CALEM or CROFT. Croft tested, as follows. Additionally, the question stated that it was the sum of the names of three port houses to total a fourth; although I didn't explicitl...

JDAW has demonstrated that he has fully solved the puzzle, if not (quite) by the requested method. For any still wishing to solve, I will clarify that Glenn noted that there were already ten letters used in the puzzle as stated - this should help identify the unknown port house.

JDAW's question.

Being admittedly dim, and assuming you add the three values/names by aligning them to the right such that 0 - 9 are in the rightmost column, 10 - 99 in the column to the left of that, 100 to 999 to the left of that and so on, then i cant get past the issue of the letter L in Offley and Calem when a...

Question reminder, as we've moved on a page: A mathematical port fanatic keeps his port in a (temperature and humidity controlled) safe, the key to which is an electronic 6-digit PIN. As he cannot reliably remember this PIN, he has worked out that with each letter representing a different number, he...

I could swear that I've seen a standard 1964 Krohn Colheita before. Not in the US, obviously, or I would have bought it. But I do also browse for 1964 Ports in Europe so that if I find something at a reasonable price I can have it shipped to London for eventual pickup, and that's where I think I've...

At which point I'll guess Croft and he'll guess Kopke. That should do for a while. As above - the required answer is the decoded number that TAYLOR represents, not the missing port house. I will NOT be confirming the correct port house - when you know why, you will know which one it is, even before...

Cryptographic nonsense. Attack codes at their weakest point. In this example, deducing the code is more work, and less reliable work, than guessing each possible answer. There aren’t many: Adams Avery Cálem Cedro Croft Dalva Dixon Feist Judeu Kopke Krohn Noval Poças Roriz Rozès Sibio Souza Warre An...

Good progress by Glenn; I wil confirm that base 10 is a correct assumption.

Eleven? Twelve? Are these six digit numbers? No, I thought not! If he knows the total, does it matter? He must remember what each letter stands for and therefore if the result is TAYLOR he knows the combination. My go. No. He cannot remember what numbers the letters stand for, however he used to be...

New question: A mathematical port fanatic keeps his port in a (temperature and humidity controlled) safe, the key to which is an electronic 6-digit PIN. As he cannot reliably remember this PIN, he has worked out that with each letter representing a different number, he can add three port houses with...

I have a question, and will post it in 15mins if LGTrotter does not post a question prior to that.

or perhaps more specifically, decanted two bottles into a single decanter?

Phil Krohn's has a huge amount of old Tawny's. My understanding is this was from the Krohn's stock. But I've not confirmed that yet. Given their recent acquisition, and the idea of doing this every year, it wouldn't be surprising if this was their plan for the Krohn stock. I wasn't saying it wasn't...

Oh - and the Lay & Wheeler email spiel (which i have to assume was drated by Lay & Wheeler rather than TFP) did amuse me: Would have been even more interesting if it has said "1964 Taylohn", but sadly given keyboard layouts I imagine this is just a simple typo. I really dislike th...

50th Anniversary Release of Taylor's Very Old Single Harvest Port 1964 If this is from the Krohn's lot they bought, I think someone needs to point out them they are quite wrong in their description. And that price :shock: The only Krohn '64 colheita I can see around is a white colheita; since the T...
