Sorry have been at work all day. Pi + X was easy but I struggled with the El + S as Spanish for dots is Los puntos I think. Anyway it was either Pixels or Pixies and that was the extent of my cognitive reach, so I gambled that you were more of a pixels guy rather than a pixies type.

Correct.

It was at first glance a very challenging puzzle, but after a day or two I tried to work my way through the clue again.

Have you ever tried a swizzler stick?

And I think it's Earl's turn now -- no need to rush. On my side I know it can be difficult to come up with a good poser and a clever clue.
