Spot on 
Greenilex, you are SO in mercia's good books, sweeping like a Deux ex machina to set N ! Mercs loves solving 'em but he hates setting 'em!

Intriguing, this. As usual, the first question is: are the three references, and/or the connecting N, musical?

I'd like to pretend that there are deep and convoluted thought processes involved, but a "nod" was the first (oh, all right, only) "gesture" that came to mind.Originally posted by Caliban View Post

I also wanted to check that that was the sort of "gesture" greeni meant.[FONT=Comic Sans MS][I][B]Numquam Satis![/B][/I][/FONT]Comment

I'm now fixated on two Noddys - Noddy Holder (was Slade a three man band?) and the sublime Rozhdestvenksy aka Noddy (did he start as a member of a string trio or something, before 'breaking through' as a conductor?)"...the isle is full of noises,
