I agree that Michaela's puzzle yesterday was something different, but there was no user submitted puzzle on Aug 15, or Sept 1. Have fun. ![ThumpUp [thumbup]](./images/smilies/msp_thumbup.gif)

Interesting how I was wrong-footed by that user puzzle thing. It turned out to be quite a tricky "race condition", it'd take a bit too long to explain here.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_condition for the interested reader.
