A typical Hound spotted earlier

Belated Hound

Some things are lost and some things are found and some things are meant to remain hidden.

These words sprang to mind when I finally had time to revisit the scribbled notes from the Quiz that took place on 20th November and tried to discern their meaning

I guess I am feeling somewhat akin to how Howard Carter and his fellow Egyptologists must have felt when trying to decipher the the hieroglyphics at Tooting Common

I have in front of me 4 sheets (well 3 3/4ers to be more accurate) of unadultarated, scribbled madness.

Sheet 1 has a large ragged chunk missing but contains the following cryptic entries,
A picture of a 3 eyed dog 
The letters F-A-B-A-C-E-A-E
 the word "Paramaribo".

Sheet 2 is just as intriguing but written in a different ink. In the centre it contains a large £1150 in a box with an arrow . Above this is written the inscription "Alfred Hitchcock's belly-button". Down the right hand side are written the following clues;
Julie's Jewish dogs, in the canteen
Robson's German Fixation
Groove coverage
Lots of Hamsters = Ched Evans
Road Signs

Sheet 3 is less obscure but just as perplexing consisting of T's, F's and X's down the right hand side and ten 4's and nine 2's down the left with an H = 164 underlined in a heavy hand

The Final sheet which may or may not hold the clue to unlocking this devious cipher contains the following:

On one side in large capitals is written the word TWINS whilst on the other is a drawing of a prostrate duck witth the numbers 9 and 10 and the word Rochester written inside it.

I can confidently recall that the Hounnd won that particular quiz and that Steve and Pete were missing, but the rest of it is unfathomable from the materials at hand. Unfortunately, over a week has passed since these events unfolded soI have no chance of dredging any more details up from the murky mists of my febrile mind so we will just have to leave it at that I'm afraid.
