    I thought it was Number Cruncher at first, but it didn't fit. Do'h! It is Number something I am pretty sure.

    And Dave can't count! :laugh: "Economic woes currently follows anaesthetic, then hesitates to produce a super Computer?" (6,8 not 7) Anaesthetic = number economic woes = crunch hesitates = er

      Put SOLUTION in your subject line. Well done (with help). (Although, Economic Woes Currently is Crunch. I try to ensure EVERY word is used)

        Steve, put him out his misery, I know you got it, He got it first, but he doesn't have the solution. Fill him in, I cannot act in this.

        Done. I was thinking of "ether" as the anaesthetic but "ethernet" was too long and I got stuck!

          You have the Right answer and get a load of Bonus Man Points, but you didn't give the solution. Number Cruncher is right, see below for Solution).

            The downside of course is Cruncher is eight letters rather than seven :)

                  I was originally clueing as Crunchers, (I was going with Cray Twins) had cruncher in mind (eight leters) took the S off crunchers and obviously arrived at 7! Tuesdays Brain seems to be firing on 3 cylinders! Apologies for Dim Setter Problem.

                        Very picky! In my locality answer and solution mean the same thing :) Next time I'll post my working (or in Dalek Exterminator Speak - my solution :) )

                                Something that numbs is a number!

                                  I think it is a bit more than that - The exterminator will let us know I'm sure I think it is a combination of anesthetic and hesitation. Anesthetic provides the "numb" and "er" is the hesitation.
