The full GCHQ challenge featuring seven challenges of various sorts

It appears they do this every year.

I don't have the answers but perhaps the collective CL brain can work it out.

No cheating by scanning the QR code and then posting the answers.

    Enjoyed that. Worked out all the places but had to work out that the missing letters from OD, _ _, IM was ER by figuring out the missing letters from the answer.

    Why is it ER?

    Same - stuck on 6, and no idea on ER, thought it was going to be D, E, and the middle one was flipped but the R as it would be P not M, if that makes sense?

    I don’t know why, but it bothers me that your colour coded marks don’t match the colours of the clues!
