Same rules as always -
Simply PM me your answers and I will post the amount you have correct, send as many PM's with answers as you like.  To win if you have 10 correct answers we will hold a draw, if no one has 10 then the 1st prize goes to whoever has most.

Please do not post answers in this thread.

Last entry is 31st December 2019, after which I will post the prize (s) to the winner (s).

Good luck - as I say it's trickier this year :)

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Thanks again for one more year of fun, andyg.

I always enjoy your competition. This time I must admit I was overwhelmed. Too hard for me, and I only got a few right. But I was glad this tradition is going on and I took part of it.

Once again I missed it. Was out of town at the start and was ill for the rest and just didn't have the energy.
Looks like it was fun though!

As usual I asked Malj1 to allocate everyone a number, then Chrisild to allocate the numbers 1-9 in a random fashion... but that's where it went wrong as I ended up with two lists of members with a number (allocated randomly)

The good news,
both lists were very similar for the top three places -
List 1 - 1 mmiguel  2 velind 3 mrbadexample
List 2 - 1 mmiguel  2 eurocoin  3 mrbadexample

so as a solution we will have four prizes this year;
1  mmiguel
2= velind
2= eurocoin
3  mrbadexample

everyone else will receive a special prize as usual - I will be in touch....

Three cheers for another riveting Christmas Puzzle!

Hurrah!  ;D Congratulations mmiguel et al.

Thanks for the competition. Might just be me but I thought it was a little bit easier than last year and no, that doesn't mean I'd like it to be any harder!  :P
