    As is customary on this thread, we celebrate all things geek.

    Today is an important milestone for all pop-culture nerds. Today is Oct 21st 2015 -- "Back to the Future" day. It is the day Marty McFly time travels to in Back to the Future-II, way back in 1989. The entire trilogy is being rereleased this weekend, so if you're up for a round trip to the past that brings you all the way to today, then grab that popcorn and hop on. The DeLorean is waiting!

    PS: Those of you who have Amazon Prime can stream all three movies for free.

    who's the nobel winner? He looks familiar but my aging neurons cant place him. Or if it is not okay to tell me that, @justanothergirl can you provide a text clue for that?

    Bullseye just wouldn't stop neighing and then there is Woodland.... that's when I realised all this is about "reading between the lines"

    Good one @justanothergirl, I didn't know that these lines started out as orbits

    I think I have a fair idea based on Priyasrini/JAG back n forth but it is bugging me a lot that I cant figure out who is the Nobel winner!!! Grrr! Just want to make sure I am not missing something vital there.

    The objective is always to keep folks interested. Too much mystique doesn't help so we've always tried to keep things simple. I tend to give direct clues. Others may have their own preferences. I leave it to the judgement of the puzzle-maker, so you decide. :)

    We set ourselves up like the British constitution here. Nothing written anywhere. We go by tradition and what makes sense at the moment. A fancy way of saying that we make it up as we go along. :)
