Friday Foxer #203

This week’s handmade co-op puzzle won’t defox itself. If you’re a dab hand at quizzes, lateral thinking, and search engine sleuthing, why not help out.

Roman, THC’s Chief Foxer Setter, is old enough to remember the days when there were Cheryls and Paulas in most classrooms, and highwaymen still plied their trade along the A3. He also recalls the time when all Friday Foxers were collage foxers.
