Ok, people, DON'T PANIC.
There's no reason for our emails to have suddenly got lost.
We may have found the right answer, or then again we may have not. If not, it's obvious that it's the Lobster to blame. Or whoever, dead or alive, is actually writing this story. Not us worthy detectives.
I had so much fun with this detecting that I don't really care if my email got lost or if I win. I really want to be right though, but, as I said, my logic is flawless

so it will not be my fault if the story's logic isn't.
Now let's all calmly wait until tomorrow.
