I really like the idea of spoiling a Times reader's Sunday with our communal spirited contributions. Yes we are reducing the odds, but everybody has a chance!!!0 -

Hi burnleybarbie, welcome to MSE. Sorry its spoilt your Sunday but why did you look on here if you didn't want to know the answers? Were you searching the web for the answers and found etch had already posted them?
BTW, by sharing comps & answers we increase our chances of winning - might seem counter intuitive but that's what happens when people pool their resources and energy together. I've certainly won a lot more prizes since joining here and if you don't believe me look at this thread of winners:
