    I'll try and remember to stop by and look tomorrow but I don't think they do laptops at my nearest shop, unless it's a new thing?
    I'm just hoping they'll eventually add the riddle to their main page like they did with the one that was in white writing on a page to begin with.

    Tried to looked for 4 in Argyll Street, Glasgow. No luck there. So going to post on their wall and ask where exactly is it posted.

    5
    I sound like a fruit but the real me is nimble
    And my silhouette is a national symbol
    I'm secret and shy, so I prefer the night
    But even when startled, I'll never take flight

    Kiwi is the answer

    Thanks. Did the store even stock the mentioned Asus? I've been to 3 HMVs this week (incl the 2 in Edinburgh city centre) and none have.

    Now up on site


    Riddle 4

    As locations go, I’m easily found
    But can you tell me from a hole in the ground?
    To reach me needs vigour - it’s not a short route
    But I am rather capital and modern, to boot

    Wellington is the capital, wellington boot? Could it be that simple?
    Thank you to everyone who posts these competitions. You are all stars :T

    Agree with Wellington too, as that's in NZ.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.
  • Has anyone made any progress with this comp?????????
