Not sure about the competitions though as I just don't qualify to enter.

Don't have a reader yet so can't enter the iPad comp' not that I'm really interested in the iPad, it's a real e-book reader I want. (If you lived in Oz you would understand how difficult they are to acquire.)

Thought the Spring Contest would be right up my street and an opportunity too good to miss. Well bombed out again didn't I. Just too stupid (me that is), it's way too deep for me I'm afraid but then I guess you could understand that as I do live in the wonderful world of Oz.

I even read the french version (I don't know french) and it didn't help so gave up and went back to some more sour grapes (a good bottom shelf Merlot) which didn't help either.

No doubt the author is a champion Trivial Pursuit player!!!

Guess I'll just have to buy a reader (when I can find the one I want at something less than robbery price).

Anyway good luck to all those with more advanced cerebral trimmings.

Have fun
Kevin

Hey Big Kev,

I thought you were on the Gold Coast selling cleaning products. Didn't know you moved to WA.

Good luck finding a reader these fora definitely helped me.

If BOb said take the survey, take the survey you can always trust a Penguin.

Hey Sneaky - have you got a clue? We can always collaborate and share the use of the reader - how is that for a brilliant idea on a sunny Saturday?

I have just submitted my answer. I was wondering how clever we have to be to get it right. :S

It would be interesting to see a stats breakdown of who everyone thought it was.

I am hoping for an explanation after all this is over because I am still a bit confused. They all seem to be telling lies.

Ahhh, I was too slow. I have a candidate for the murder in mind but not submitted yet. I hope we don't have to be too clever - because then my answer would be wrong.

Yep, would be interesting to see who the forums thinks is most likely to commit murder

I am more than a bit confused and am also hoping for a clear explanation as to who did it , and what clues where there.

Answer submitted - writing down the reason it seemed rather silly. So now I have to hope that by chance i got it right :-)

Maybe... just maybe you don't have to get it right to be in the draw.
Here's hoping.

Hmm... it seems those of us who have figured it out (or think we have... heh, heh, heh) are spending less time in the forum, while those still looking for clues are hanging around. Deadline's almost here, too. I wish I could help, but... well... sorry!

Or just don't have that much time to spend on the forum!

I still haven't figured it out...

If you use your phone, PDA or even your computer as a reader, just answer the questions in relation to those. That's what I did.

And 1000 posts in the discussion thread. Haven't even gotten all cannibalistic, either.

You can feel the tension rising as the deadline approaches! Along with the desperate appeals for insights from a dead parrot!
