Well, as Mark surely can testify, the Rare Entries contents depends quite a bit on the number of contestants to be really interesting. I have been thinking of number of questions for future contents, but at least some of them are even more difficult than the ones in this quiz, so I doubt that I will use them in a Rare Entries format. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
