mandarin Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thanks to everyone who's had a go at guessing the new Mod's identity. There was a total of 64 guesses, 21 of them were correct. It was very interesting seeing the good range of guesses, too. The 21 correct guesses went into a plastic Tupperware box and the winner was drawn by an Independent Adjudicator - The winner is Von-Horst! If they would email their postal address to me, I'll get their prize off to them soon. Oh You wanted to know who I am? It's Mrs Blorenge, of course! Quote Link to comment

+Stuey Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Two things, no three things.... 1. Congrats and commiserations, I'm sure it is a bitter sweet position to hold. 2. What is the reason for the name? and... 3. Is someone so small allowed to wield a stick so big? Quote Link to comment
mandarin Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 ... 2. What is the reason for the name? Come on, Stuey - You're good at puzzles There are three explanations of a mandarin: It is smallish, colourful duck (I like ducks), it's a name for an official, acting on behalf of a government and most people know it as a small type of orange. I haven't got a stick, but the duck might have to peck occasionally. Quote Link to comment
