You will have until the beginning of March 2008 to submit your answers and �50 has been allocated for prizes ~ including a prize for obtaining the average score and another prize for scoring below the average!

The quiz comprises 100 cryptic clues on the theme of Rocks, Stones, Minerals and Gems - hence the title 'Rocky Horrors'. Every answer either is, or contains, a rock, stone, mineral or gem.

Magyar have you the email address please. Thanks
Diane

[smouse]

Diane I am pretty sure you only get it by email once you have sent in your money

[Magyar]

Thanks smouse. Yes, I think the idea is that you send them the money and then they can e-mail the quiz to you if you prefer. It's a good idea too with the pictures, because they are obviously much clearer than a printed copy (and can be enlarged on screen if there is any writing on them to try and help identify it).
I'm sure Munden will be advertising it on here in due course and will clarify if we are wrong.

[Skitts]

thank you so much everyone theres loads out there but never knew where to get them from i will certainly be sending for some of them

Cheers to you all xx

[Munden]

Quite right, Magyar. And thanks for the earlier plug.

The quiz is indeed available via email but, as you say, only when entry fees have been paid (for obvious reasons).

Once you become a regular we are happy to send the quiz out 'on account'.

Good Luck.
