Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers.
Each pic in this foxer is taken from a Wikipedia page beginning with the same letter. To fully defox the puzzle, figure out the letter, and supply Roman with a list of all 25 Wikipedia pages.
To ensure as many people as possible get a chance to participate, Roman requests defoxers solve no more than five discs per person on Day 1. (After 24 hours have elapsed, fill your boots!). Use your ration to complete an entire horizontal or vertical line before anyone else to win ‘Connect 5’ bragging rights.

D5 – KEN BLOCK (Or Travis Pastrana)
B1 – MOAI, RANU RARAKU or EASTER ISLAND
Also, TUFF.
A5 – JOHN BENBOW (Admiral Benbow Pub)
Letter is B then, dunno what B1 is yet
This is also on TREASURE ISLAND, so the letter could be ‘T’.
C3 – TAMIL EELAM, and many other associated pages such as LIBERATION TIGERS OF TAMIL EELAM and EELAM WAR IV.
E3 is on both TONIC WATER and QUININE.
A2 is a TOROSAURUS.
A3. TRAMPE BICYCLE LIFT – originally installed in 1993 in Tromso, Norway
C2. TOAD IN THE HOLE (GAME)
Re: D1.
Looks to be a Los Angeles Chargers Swarovski Crystal Large Football Helmet – would be $7000 if it was in stock.
E4. THRUST REVERSAL
Picture shows “Target ‘bucket’ thrust reverser” but it’s subtly different from the one on the “Target-type thrust reversal” page.
