@Seth Cohen: Today's puzzle is correct: If there's only one possible value, then that value is the largest value (and also the smallest value).

If you've got them all right so far, two of the clues will be the same. I'm just checking if that's a typo or if I accidentally made the puzzle only need 23 clues...

@Matthew: ... yes the clues are correct and once you get to the end, a couple of them are redundant. Who knows what I was thinking when I did that.

@Matthew: Update: I've made some sneaky edits to the clues from tomorrow onwards to remove the redundancy of clues. All will be gradually revealed soon

@Matthew: Don't worry, we'll still do them all! Thanks!
