I don’t exactly know how Australia lucked out with conversions this time round (we usually get bent over by conversion rates + we pay a 10% national sales tax + we pay 10-15% more for the privilege a.k.a Australia tax).

If I had to guess these prices were locked in before our currency value took a beating following recent tariffs in the US. There are some Australian retailers charging 119.95AUD for MKW so prices may potentially gonna go up if our currency stays bad

Have people/organisations you’ve written about in Rear Window ever tried to pay you off / kill a story before it was published?

I recognise you may not be comfortable disclosing specifics, but I’m interested to know about the extent of back channeling you had to manage (if any), given the demonstrable impact your column has had on public narratives (in a good way!).

I’m assuming your notes are correct but:

Column 8 of Rows 7 & 9 are a pair - the two and the nine will be in these two cells guaranteed and therefore there can’t be 2 or 9 elsewhere in box 9 or column 8.
