That was ambiguous to my mind - I would have phrased it "are you in a zone numbered higher than 3?"

No, it is in zone 4-9 (or 4-7 as we have eliminated the top left hand corner of the map).

Highlight my answer to Sam's go on page 1 which will give you what I saw as ambiguous.
Attempts: 2 (17h38m, 238 stations) (unknown, 200 stations); Completions: 0; GWR: 0; PBs: 0.

Yet that isn't the question that is causing issues.

As a point of order zone 7 only extends east of Watford Junction as far as Elstree and Borehamwood. There is a grey line that marks the end of zone 7 there. So there is no zone 7 in the top-roght corner we are working in. The white area is outside the LU zonal system I believe.

8 options...

Is it on a line out of Moorgate or Kings Cross?

I think this game highlights the need for questioners to THINK about their questions, because the rules (yes Sam, the rules) state that the hider must answer LITERALLY, so long as there is no ambiguity.

Ritchie may well get away undetected here because of some dodgy questions.

Surely anyone with an ounce of sense knew I meant a TfL owned station which has roundels with the station name in?

Fair enough - I'm using a B&W printout of the map so all the odd coloured zones look white :)

Yes, I did know that was what you meant but by simply saying 'TfL roundel', as I saw it, it wasn't simply limited to London Underground lines.

There is no common sense in logic.

Even so, there is no London Overground/Tram/DLR station in Neils co-ordinates? So i'm still confused

There could be a bus stop? (That's not a question for Richie)
