If so, in some old geological era? In the last 10000 years? In the last 1000? In the last 100?

And that's the ***SPOILER*** Rbruma (Rbruma) New member Username: Rbruma Post Number: 422 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 - 6:10 pm:        Ooops, sorry, I didn't mean an early spoiler... But given the year 1066, anyone (I think) will first try to rule out Hastings. Anyway, I didn't know about the anniversary, so thanks.

That battle came up in two puzzles this week, one of them my own, and in both cases it was Rbruma who worked out that it was relevant.
