Pointer has this wonderful knack of being able to create puzzles with one grid that can be completely transformed into another, and it baffles me every time – solving his puzzles makes me feel like a child watching a magic trick, and it’s that feeling which keeps me coming back to Magpie/Listener style puzzles. I’m not always a successful solver of his puzzles, but I always sit back and marvel regardless of how I got on.
Pointer’s consistently at the top of the Premier League of setters for me, and the PotY was thoroughly deserved for Snakes, a superb example of what he can do.
Right, back to work before someone sees my computer screen…

Edmund sums up my feelings better than I could. I didn’t tackle this particular puzzle due to my morbid fear of snakes, but I am sure it would have been as good at least as all his other gems. Congrats.
