Academy awards
by T. O. HARE-
The National Academy of Culture (of which maybe you have never heard! decide to make an annual award of a gold medal and a sliver medal. The nominat- ing committed for these awards was composed of five members: Dr. Smug. Sir Franc's Flute, Professor Bottom, Dr. Starveling, and the Hon. Peter Quince.
All were agreed that their own efforts in the cause of culture deserved immediate recognition. The result was that each of the five found himself recommended for the gold medal by one of his four colleagues, and for the silver medal by another one.
For example, Dr. Snug's nominee for the gold medai nominated Professor Boltom for the silver medal, while Snugt's nominee for the silver medal nominated Flute for the gold medal, For the silver medal Quince nominated Dr. Starycling.
Whom did Flute nominate for the gold medal?
