    I also sent them my date of birth, just in case - with the prize involving alcohol. Suppose it wouldn't matter if you didn't though because they could just telephone you if you won to check age.

    I'm really confused. Who's Tracey and what's she got to do with this competition?

    If you click on the wesite link, she (Tracey) had posted the list of answers as a comment on the site right under where it says DO NOT post your answers on site.
    :doh:

    Edit: The Times has removed them now.

    Thanks josie. She'd better not have copied from me - it took me ages to find a couple of the answers.
