Hoping the STW hive mind can help out: trying to find a common link between nine albums/artists that should give me a nine figure number.

Seventeen (sure the Q isn't a nine letter/digit number)

Hmmmmm.

When I look at this thread I see only the reply box, and none of the previous posts.

The clue was in the title 'Puzzle Challenge' - you were supposed to work out where all the posts went!!

I'm guessing they are putting a mirror database on the new server and it has still to sync - so some records will be missing??

They will sync eventually.

You missed the announcement? Oh, wait...

I love STW, but y'know guys, a bit more transparency wouldn't hurt. I know it's not a mission-critical site but it's bad form to do planned maintenance without informing your users (or to not keep us proles in the loop if it's broken).

Well, since my original post has not come back (at least for me)here it is again.

Looking for a common link between nine artists/ albums that will give a corresponding number for each.

Jasper Van T'hof
Boo Radleys
Muriel Anderson
Avalanche to Wandering Bear
Wednesday Morning 3am
Attack in Black
Smashing Pumpkins
Carrie Newcomer
Hop a Long Catastrophe

I am totally stumped so I'm hoping the STW hive mind can succeed where I've failed.
