Nice puzzle today, I am confident of my answer because I have checked it with brute force. I am also confident that my answer to day 13 is a correct answer, but may be not the only correct answer, I do get a direct contradiction in the clue though. Runners should be bought from a shop that was excluded for runners in day 13.

@Bob: I have noticed this too. I will try not to worry until the final day!
