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’.

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.
