Thank you. Not such a red face - I've never heard of it.

How do you lot know so much and manage to answer so fast?!! I am so impressed!

[crofter]

The correct answer is TENET - Red faces all round?

[kayakamina]

Maybe because the answer has been on this site since 16.30 on Saturday!

[MagsE]

Actually, crofter, I looked up Tenet Principle and it appears to be an arcitectural term, whereas several sources confirm that the answer is, indeed, Peter Principle.

So, I have learned EVEN more than I expected today - so far!!

kayakamina - I only get to the internet on a Monday morning and, despite trawling through the answers, I possibly miss a few. it's probably an age thing - so have a little pity!!

[Bluebell]

I went with the definition in my Collins dictionary which gives an identical definiton to that printed in the Telegraph. Will I win the �200 though!!!!!

[Bluebell]

PS I meant to say Peter Principle! Apolgoies for a rambling last posting. I'm having a 'Grey' day!

Sorry MagsE. The way that the posting reads, I thought that "principle" was the clue - not part of the answer. Also knowing that the solution is of the form (5,9) is also a bit of a give away.
