How the puzzles are made
- Every notice is a SPECIMEN: the companies, councils, places and the number plate are invented, and the word SPECIMEN is printed on each one.
- Each notice has exactly one mistake, and no two puzzles share the same kind of mistake.
- Every answer quotes its rule from the published text, with a link to the source and the date we read it.
