Competition

Last issue's competition was called 'Connections' and was devised
by Neil Shipman. You had to work out what word connected each of
a list of ten pairs of names/words and then take the first letter
of each answer and rearrange the ten letters to give you the title
of a well-known adventure.
To refresh your memory, here are the questions again, and their
answers:
                1    Tutenkhamen - Gwynedd
                2    Clint Eastwood - Stavros
                3    Kittyhawk - Keith Harris
                4    Element - Theatre
                5    Princess of Wales - Michael Crawford
                6    Moses - Dudley Moore
                7    Neil Armstrong - God
                8    Ian Botham - Sigourney Weaver
                9    Computer - Particle
               10    Buddy Holly - SynTax

And the answers were:

                1 Caernarvon
                2 Harry
                3 Orville
                4 Palladium
                5 Spencer
                6 Ten
                7 Apollo
                8 Gorilla 
                9 Electron 
               10 Sue

       Simply rearrange CHOPSTAGES to give you SCAPEGHOST.

Back to Neil for the explanation..........

I expect you'll manage to work out for yourself the logic behind 
the answers, but here's what I had in mind:

 1   Lord Caernarvon financed the expedition which discovered 
Tutenkhamen's tomb - Caernarvon is the county town of Gwynedd.
 2   Clint Eastwood played the character of Dirty Harry - Stavros 
was one of Harry Enfield's characters.
 3   Kittyhawk was where Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first 
aeroplane - Keith Harris has a stupid green duck called Orville.
 4   Palladium is an Element - and the name of a London theatre.
 5   The Princess of Wales's maiden name was Spencer - Michael 
Crawford played the character of Frank Spencer in Some Mothers Do 
'Ave 'Em.
 6   Moses was given the Ten Commandments - Dudley Moore was one 
of the stars of the film '10'.
 7   Neil Armstrong flew to the first moon landing in Apollo 11 - 
Apollo was a Greek God.
 8   One of Ian Botham's nicknames is Guy the Gorilla - Sigourney 
Weaver starred in the film 'Gorillas in the Mist'.
 9   An Electron is an atomic Particle - it's also the name of a 
(rather old) Computer.
10   Peggy Sue was one of Buddy Holly's greatest hits - and, of 
course, Sue Medley is none other than the editor of SynTax!

Congratulations to Barbara Gibb, a new reader, who won copies
of Silicon Dreams and Batman which were donated by Neil. I was
really surprised that Barbara was the only person who entered the
competition, especially as several people had told me on the phone
that they were planning to enter.

Oh well, here is one more word puzzle for you to try, same rules
as usual. Entries (if there are any!) must be in by 15th April
1991 and the person who finds the largest number of
adventure-producing software houses and marks them on a copy or
printout of the puzzle will win a copy of Infocom's Beyond Zork.
It isn't a brand new copy but it is in good condition.

All the titles are in straight lines, vertically, horizontally
or diagonally. In the event of a tie, the winner will be drawn
from the hat, and if there aren't more than half-a-dozen entries,
this will be the last competition. 

Good luck....
