E:20/10 Win a flugelbinder kite

Comments

  • How did you come up with the answer being 'Kite'? Because I think the answer is actually - C.The plastic bits on the end of your shoelaces

    They state in the passage:

    "We chose the word flugelbinder to front this project as it comes from that classic scene in the movie 'cocktail' - when Brian Flanagan (Tom Cruise) and love interest Jordon Mooney (Elisabeth Shue) discuss the name of the person who invented the plastic bits one finds on the end of a shoelace. This Mr. Flugelbinder became one hell of a successful man, on the basis of a simple, but highly functional invention."

    It might be a good idea to amend the title as well - the prize is actually a kite :)
