Yesterday's was Homesteads (there was a cartoon called 'As if' and the headline of the newspaper featured in it was homesteads) Hope this helps with the final part of the comp - even though we missed the daily one!

What way are people entering this - for the dailies? If you enter by email, are you putting the word as the subject or just as a normal message??

Thanks!

Thanks mpython for todays (again ) and thanks josie for clarifying yesterdays, didn't even occur to me to look at cartoons, doh.

I personally have been just emailing the answer in the main body of the email along with my details and putting something like 'daily draw entry' in the subject line.

Just to rebump this thread as i've just read in todays Independent if entering the daily draw the word must be in the subject line of the email. Now i'm sure this hasn't been stated in the last couple of papers as i read the comps thoroughly, apologies if so.

Maybe they changed it to save time, with the answer as the subject they can see instantly whether to bother opening the e-mail.

Again, slightly easier to locate today. Today's Clue:-

"Twisted up quality of suspicious German payments, thinks Business Editor"

Taken from Business editor column:-

"Siemans is a huge company with 65 units in 190 countries. But the scale and tortuosity of the suspicious payments are still staggering. The stench of corruption at Siemans will mean Germany never again enjoys a spotless corporate reputation"

Elsewher in the column I also found "governance"

My guess is tortuosity, as taken from freonlinedictionary:-

"tortuosity - a tortuous and twisted shape or position; "they built a tree house in the tortuosities of its boughs";

BTW today's prize is 1 of 5 Panasonic hybrid camcorders.

Thanks again mpython, you've already scoured the paper for the answer before i even manage to get to the shop hehe
