Yay!

Second (letter of) test = e + ball in, scrambled by whacked as the AI.

I was trying to do one of those cognitive anagrams...y'know, where the fodder in itself gives a clue to the person / his sport. He'll probably get a duck today now

Mum gains a stone but why the breakdown before whipping up the bubbles?
Ignazio

Didn't take this long to slip down to page 2.

letters 5, 9.

Concentrate on the forename first.
Ignazio
01-08-2011
Forename is two syllables and two synonyms.
Terrence Chant

First two letters Ma?

Would say as a wild overall guess Maria Sharapova heh, but obviously that'd be three syllables as a forename...

Hmm Ig's fond of a bit of swimming so I think the surname may be Spofforth

Whipping up the bubbles = anagram of froth

Not sure of how the breakdown bit = Spof though....

It is indeed Gemma Spofforth TC.

Why the breakdown = the acronym for Single Point Of Failure - SPOF.
