(4,5,4,2,2)
Thank you in advance !!!!! P

'Brenda' is the Queen in Private Eye so the answer could be Queen Elizabeth II

[Pea Brain]

Many thanks for you replies - Im sorry mysterygal I cant help with 46. On my sheet it says the answer should be (7,3,5). Do you know something I dont ? !!!! P

I was told it should be 6 3 6 perhaps gen2 can confirm this
I wonder if it has been made void because of the mistake because obviously everyone hasnt seen it?
