    The answers to these cryptics are Forum member names.
    They are some of the most prolific members, so the names will be easily recognizable and known to most.

    Not too easy, some lateral thinking required.

    8. Echnidna ... well it would be if he'd spelled it properly.

    Echnidna is 8, not 7. I had him before but changed it because it was too long.

    Yup. The clue gives an answer of Echidna (7 letters, made from 'Hide' & 'Can')

    But quite a few people haven't noticed that Bob's fingers slipped an extra N in when he wasn't looking, mebbe a certain question poser among 'em?
