I've sometimes seen comments about a thumbnail providing an extra clue, but I think this is the first time I've seen it used as an actual question. However thumbnails never show on a phone (in my experience anyway) ... made Q1 difficult!!

Ha, I never realised! I had been puzzled that so few seemed to know this answer, but had never had a clue as to why. In my 11 years on Jetpunk, today was the first time I've accessed the site, not via my laptop but via my phone, just to check your comment. Have just tweaked the clue to give mobile users a chance :)
