Many thanks to everyone who took part in this year's puzzles, specially those
who were kind enough to comment on the enjoyment they'd got from the whole
procedure ... commiserations to Bert Saraco, Beverly Peyton, Bob Jaccino,
David Whitney, Erik Mouridsen, Gary Rosen, Gary Shepard, Giancarlo Buletti,
Guillermo Miyares, Hamilton, Henrik Gøttrup , Holger Neumayer, Howard
Christie, Jan Smulders, Jeff Vintner, Jeremy Gilien, Jill McMahon, John
Cammaleri, Kerry Canfield, Kerry Holloway, Mark Mott, Michael Wilson, Mike
Cooper, Mimi Bederman, Pat Keating, Patrick McDonald, Peter Christian, Peter
Cohen, and Piotr Wlaz, whose names remained in the Homburg. Piotr Wlaz,
Peter Christian and Pat Keating were close to beating the clock, but the winning
trio were really very fast indeed!
Further commiserations to several competitors whose responses were 'differently correct' ...
nearly all of these errors were caused simply by failing to read the final
instruction – it was the last word of the song, Simple Sister, that we wanted, not its title.
One competitor sent in a response on 4 January ... incorrectly! One
competitor sent in a word that wasn't part of the correct song, and didn't
specify any choice of prizes ... doh!
But the overwhelming majority of players had the right
answer ... after all, 'Well Simple' was written on every clue page, and in an ideal world we'd say, like Lewis Carroll, 'Everyone has won
and everyone shall have prizes'.
