Finding the Mistakes

A Popular Puzzle The Croc, is wearing a very sly smile lately, readers mine—and it was quite some time before Peter Pan could discover the reason for it. It was easily explained, however, when he came across some of the entries for our recent "Mistakes in the Picture" competition. Quite a number of entrants forgot to put the number of objects found in the top righthand corner of their lists, much to old Croc.'s delight. However, Peter Pan was very pleased with the neat setting-out of readers* work, and is sure that everyone will remember this little ruHe in the future. Congratulations to Lorraine Toon, whose list of thirty-six objects tops this week's winners. Here are the twenty-four lucky ones:— Lorraine Toon, Palmerston North, age 13, girl's purse.
