However reading all the marina books in order as a child obviously never stuck with me! Got all the connections for the walls but not necessarily sorted correctly, and at one point I was shouting ‘triffids’ at the TV! (After clue 2, which is one of my favourite books)

We got that Kryptonite, mithril etc were a catagory, but didn’t put Octogen in that group. VCM said it was from Terry Pratchett; I’ve read all his books and remember Octarine, the colour seen only by wizards and cats, but not Octogen. Did anyone else spot that, or have I missed a TP reference?
