I got quite a few replies to the Football puzzle, the general belief is
that it is a hoax and has no solution.
Some say Chris Evans started it as a joke, others that the question
was put to Sky Sports, who researched it and concluded that there
is no solution.
I guess it's one of those "thought viruses" that must have eaten-up
literally thousands of hours of office-workers time in total. And it
seems I unknowingly helped spread it. Sorry guys.
