And the winner is…
Our lucky winner was John Bravin of Somerset, UK, who wins a copy of Just the Job by Alexander Tulloch. Congratulations, John!

Here’s the quiz as it was in December 2020, but without any prizes this time – and no need to input any contact details.
This was fun! However, in the “thanks” message all answers were returned to me, not just the ones I chose – which are the correct answers? You have not told me that – I have no idea where I went wrong.
Hi Sher, glad to hear you enjoyed the quiz! Thanks for getting in touch. The message you receive after you submit the quiz should highlight the answers – the answer you selected is shown with a tick; for incorrect answers, you should see both your own answer and the correct one highlighted. If some of this hasn’t shown up, it might be worth checking your browser settings and extensions to be sure that it’s not being blocked. I hope this helps! If you’d like to know the answers to the quiz, then let me know and I can send those over after the competition closes.
