OK. The answer I was looking for was;

With one point for a country in the wrong rank and three points for a country in the right rank, the scoring is;

pdurrant - 11 points

drjd - 22 points

I declare drjd the winner (and a good one at that!).

Wow! That' great..! Thanks Bilbo1967.

Er.. I'm not used to playing quizzes, especially hosting them..

, so I might be posting something childish here...

In a footrace, Jerry was neither first nor last. Janet beat Jerry. Jerry beat Pat. Charlie was neither first nor last. Charlie beat Rachel. Pat beat Charlie. Who came in last?

If you have given the names of all the participants, Rachel came last. In fact, I think there's enough info to give the complete order:

Janet, Jerry, Pat, Charlie, Rachel.

Good suggestion! But no: much more recent.

I think Shirley Temple got an honorary Oscar, though.
