Hey Kim,

Nice to meet you, hope you've managed to catch up!  I've thrown in 
some extra brain teasers after that post, and I still haven't
resolved 
it.  That Bill and Ted is an excellent idea!!  I remember that scene 
.. "most excellent my bodacious friend". =D  

So, Bill and Ted had to go back to actually put the key there... How??
Harry had to go back to stop the dementors .. How?? lol

Oh and I have more brain teasers when I come back, about how things 
work!  Anyone know if Carol Vorderman is a member here?!?!

Cheers,
Kazza
