Each year at Christmas, following the Scandinavian custom, BtP sets twelve days of Procol puzzles which great numbers of Palers follow with much interest and merriment ... at the end of the trail is a one-word answer, which you send in by e-mail to the webmasters, to win one (or more?) of the prizes below. The puzzles start on Christmas Day – arguably they get easier and easier year by year, while the prizes get more and more munificent.
This year's fine freebies are, we think you'll agree, every bit as splendid as 1997's, 1998's, 1999's, 2000's, 2001's, 2002's, 2003's, 2004's or 2005's: this is largely thanks to the generosity of our very kind friends and sponsors. Here is the schedule of winners!

Competitors should rank the above prizes in the order they
favour them, and send in their preference – all twelve letters, please! –
with the solution to the puzzles. The message will look something like :
We shall allot the first three prizes on a beat-the-clock basis, where the earliest correct response earns its first choice of prize and so on; after that all subsequent correct entries received in the next 24 hours will be placed in the BtP Homburg and the remaining prize-winners will be drawn by a suitably Glamorous Assistant, Deo volente. In the somewhat unlikely event of there being fewer than twelve winners, the first people to submit correct answers will get more than their fair share of the prizes! The quiz starts on Christmas Day and runs through to Twelfth Night. You can join in at any time, if you have a pencil and an internet connection! The answer at the end will be a single word, as in previous years. |
