Triumphant Victors!


We hope everyone who took part enjoyed this year's Yuletide diversion. Congratulations to everyone who sent in right answers, and commiserations if your responses were ... well ...'differently correct'

So here are the names (and the international origins!) of the magnificent nine who led the field: 'first in' got first choice of prize, 'second in' got their highest choice still available, and so on. In fact since some of the choices were equivalent (A=D=H, B=E) you can see that a great majority got what really really wanted, in the best Christmas tradition!
