Re: Puzzle 9
Because this one is particularly difficult, I am going to increase the prize.

Tell me where it is and you can walk away with

5000 ACKERS!

Re: Puzzle 9
A little too obscure Yerself.

On a roof in Accy.

That should do it.

Re: Puzzle 9
I have'nt a clue where it is. However, if you look closely in the top left hand corner you will see that one of those slates, albeit a small one, appears to be very loose. I do take it therefore, A-B, that you have done your civic duty and informed HBC of this perilous state and the clear and present danger above the streets of Accy. It would be a credit to no-one should that slate come off the roof and decapitate some old lady while the rest of us are here pondering its whereabouts.

Re: Puzzle 9
I think that it is a rather apt metaphor for HBC; Archaic, obscure, needlessly decorated and with a slate loose.

Re: Puzzle 9
You need to be just a little more precise.
