This is all my own work

Lots of entries again this week. There must have been nearly a hun- dred letters from readers and every answer was correct! P'in beginning to think the competition was too easy. Because you all sent in correct answers, I decided to put all the en- Iries in one hat and plek out the win- ners for the Junior and senior sec- tions. Don't you think it's the fairest way, kiddies, when there are so many correct entries?

Anyway, after putting all the senior entries in one hat and the junior en- tries in another, the names I picked

out were

Sunny Gensburger (aged 11),

Rodney Martin (uged 10).
