This comp appears not to be live yet.Can someone bump when it opens please.
Thanks to MissLinda for the format.


We’re offering one lucky winner the chance to take a friend to New York, stay two nights in a Manhattan hotel, with £200 of spending money and two tickets to see Andrea become the first tenor since Luciano Pavarotti to play Central Park! The concert will take place on September 15 in front of 60,000 people, accompanied by the wonderful New York Philharmonic and conductor Alan Gilbert

The full terms are not posted yet.

Venue details



Complete the following equation:
  • Take the date in March 1685 that Johann Sebastian Bach was born
  • Divide by John Williams' highest position in Classic FM’s Movie Music Chart
  • Multiply by the position of 'The Lark Ascending' in this year's Hall Of Fame
  • Add the number of operas written by Beethoven
I hope I have got the sums/sources correct.
I get it as
21...........http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach
3...........http://moviemusicchart.classicfm.co.uk/50-1?page=5
2 ...........http://halloffame2011.classicfm.co.uk/50-1?page=5
1...............http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Ludwig_van_Beethoven#Opera


21 divided by 3= 7
7x2 = 14
14 + 1 = 15

answer is 15

Can someone just check it please.

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:
