JUMBLED QUOTATIONS.

AN INTERESTING PUZZLE. " Here is a particularly fascinating competition — a jumbled quotation puzzle. Twenty simple quotations have been taken and carefully split in halves, each section receiving a number. The first part of each quotation is numbered from 1 to 20 and the second half from 21 to 40. Your task is simple. You must write down all the lines from 1 to 20 and try to find them partners from the lines 21 to 40. When you have done this you should write the two lines down together and beside them, in parentheses, the numbers of the sentences which have been coupled. For example, No. 1 is plainly coupled with No. 21, and so would be written: (1) Under a spreading chestnut tree (21) The village smithy stands. A joke must accompany each entry for this competition, and where ties are inevitable this will be considered as the deciding factor. « Prizes of 7/6, 5/, 3/ and 2/6. 1.
