    I imagine it might be a slight bit easier if you included the correct number of letters.

    Dammit, yes, it's 9 letters. My mistake. I'm not very good at this after all.

    I thought it was Llamatron. Still might be if Nigel messed up the ordering.

    I'm actually quite surprised nobody has got it. Is there no computer nerds out there?

    This thread feels so dead it should be buried six down and three across.

    If tets doesn't defibrillate this in the next day or two, I'm going to start over with a new clue. The only thing I could come up with to answer the clue was hopscotch....which isn't 4,6.

    I reckon you could start with your new clue, BM.
