Does anybody know how many correct entries there would have been? My answers were all correct but I didn't win anything - sigh!

I would guess over a thousand, many people used answer bank and other internet search engines, plus groups of people who may send more than 1 entry. I too answered all questions correctly - disappointed, that it appears that only one winner was chosen from email entries.

Why is the answer to 44d Caribbean.It is to the west of the Antilles. Columbus made this quotation on leaving San Salvador which is in the Bahamas.

[Pippa24]

I agree with you. I put Bahamas too but assumed that you might say that the Bahamas are in the Carribean!!

I found out that they had about 52 entries by letter. All they would say is that they also had "thousands" of emailed entries. I can only really speculate that they must have given more weight to a letter entry as they would realise that emailed entries can be rapidly duplicated by senders for multi-attempts at winning the prizes. An emailed entry would in many cases merely have been copied from the many internet groups that were publishing the answers to this competition.
