    Oingoboingo you are bloomin' clever, thanks for the answers and the education. By looking up your references I'm learning a lot more about art.

    As for the casasugar link, do you love it or hate it? I'm a lover, but then I like a nice bit of spirograph too ;)

    "look ive managed to answer the questions for my self and ive come on here to ckeck if answers are posted if not i will post them because it deos'nt matter who enters the comps.
    there can only be one winner and if anyone thinks that by answering by them self must be in a lonely world that they think only they are doing the comp so they are deff the winner"

    im Sorry but may i ask why you entered the competition in the first place?? surly its because you wanted to win???? so to say it doesnt matter who enters the competition i find hard to understand.....ill try and explain this simply for you...more people means your chances are reduced, the probability decreases with each person you tell the answers too. Now if you say your doing this competition for fun im prob safe in saying that it is you who lives in a "lonely world!!" why on earth would you want to come on here after "all your hard work" finding answers to then reduce your chances and make all that hard work more worthless!!??

    "If you don't like it, go somewhere else. Most people don't mind sharing answers - for everyone I know, there are always a few that I don't know immediately and am grateful for the time it saves me not looking it up.

    It doesn't really affect my rate of winning either - it's totally random, for a start, and if someone WANTS to win a prize, they'll make more effort to find the answers.

    im sorry also but i think youll find posting answers does effect your 'rate' of winning (bad english on your part but i know what you mean). here we go...

    a sweepstake is set up with varying numbers of people that i enter.

    me only = 100% chance of winning

    me + 1 person = 50% of me winning

    me + 2 people = 33.3% of me winning

    me + 3 people = 25 % of me winning

    and so on......

    hopefully that will clear it up for you because i can guarantee that the numbers of people now entering as a result of the people posting answers on here is hugely significant.

    can i lastly ask why should someone who cannot be bothered to spend the time and effort getting the answers have the same chance as someone who has spent the time and effort finding the answers??

    Seconded. Good post. Some people on here seem to extremely short-sighted and thick as two planks of wood.
