Things Three a Post Make

Jan 24, 2010 10:01

1) I was convinced I had packed my not Star Wars tshirt and had laid it out on my hotel bed so as not to pack it. I am deluded in one of my suppositions.*

2) At Christmas 2008 my aunt bought my five pairs of socks, which are identical, aside from coloured tips to the toe, and a stripe at the top of the ankle. Assuming I grabbed six socks, how many different colours do I have?**

3) The Guardian, being The Guardian, is giving away Romantic Poetry supplements and, being The Guardian, has collections of Joanna Baillie, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Smith, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Mary Robinson, John Clare and Helen Williams, rather than perpetuating Romanticism as six blokes and Burns because it's that time of year.***

The Answers (No Cheating Now)

* Surprisingly not in the thought of having a not Star Wars tshirt, but I appear not to have packed it in the first place.

*** Only kidding - any fool know that Romanticism is six blokes and a Scot (occasional a Scott - this being the Scott Trust, is it not?). Does The Guardian have shares with Faber, because it looks like the Faber type face, and Andrew Motion (yawn) had done the intro.

** Six, which suggests it must have been a trick question.

hotels, h'mmmm, poetry
