Procol Harum

Beyond
the Pale

Christmas quizzes 2012

26 December: questions 1–6 inclusive

Each day we add three statements to the following list. All you need to do is make a note, from day to day, of the number of the single statement that you consider to be true. Detailed 'how to play' instructions are here.

On the final day, there will be a new, simple instruction – or possibly more, depending on the mood of the time – telling you how to turn your findings into prizes! as always, you will end up sending a very short answer to ‘Beyond the Pale’.

25 December (Keep a note of the number of your answer)	By what two initial letters is Procol Harum's 1970s' drummer best known?	1	B J
		2	M M
		3	G E
26 December (Keep a note of the number of your answer)	What is the correct spelling of the band's second name?	4	Harem, like you see on ticket stubs
		5	Harum, as is obvious from their record-sleeves
		6	Harom, as shewn here

You'll also need to look at our fab prizes and decide which one you most favour ... you'll need to let us know the full preference-order of all twelve.

Don't be hasty, but give some proper thought before you answer. Over the past years we've had one or two non-winners who claimed, 'You guys tricked me …' so here's fair warning … just read the final instruction – indeed, all the wording of all the questions, and all the instructions – carefully.

In the unlikely event of there being fewer winners than prizes this year, early claimants will get more than their fair share! Prizes will of course be awarded at the absolute discretion of Roland and Jens, who run 'Beyond the Pale', and whose decision will be final; their families are not eligible to enter. Thanks to Jane Clare, from Perth in WA, once again our helpful and constructive guinea-pig for this puzzle-sequence.
