Aha, well best I clarify the clarication then!

Q15/. is cryptic, as stated. It is in no way a trick question and all parts of the question text are relevant. There is a definitive answer. Maybe think out of the box along the lines of the 'dingbats' we've had.

Just bouncing this again in case there are still a few who haven't seen it.
