Dear Readers,
Well, this was a bit of a puzzler! We had a wide range of results, which is great because it means that people aren’t afraid of having a go. The answers are below, but top marks go to Fran and Bobby Freelove with 30 out of 30, followed very closely by Ringgi with 29 out of 30, Christine with 27 out of 30, Sylvie with 22 out of 30 and finally Alittlebitoutoffocus who was having a most unusual off day with 11 out of 30. I think I can hear the sound of someone kicking themselves :-). Well done everyone, thank you for taking part, and I hope you enjoyed it!
