Title did not mar his game
I Martin Marshall, a Christ-: { church toxic wastes officer, p I has come fourth in the world Mastermind championships, held in Stratford upon Avon, > England, last week-end. Mastermind, a board game invented in 1972, should not ibe confused with the tele- | vision programme of the j same name. The champion-:< I ships were the second to be : held. i Mr Marshall, aged 25, who ; works with the Christchurch ■ i City Council, became well i known in the contest after ' the organisers wrongly called • him a dustman. The label 1 caught their imagination and caused them to make predic- 1 tions such as “although he is I i now well down in the rankings, the dustman from New!' !Zealand may well be able toll i clean up the competition.” ; 1 Other contestants included J a television producer from j Poland, a schoolgirl from! Canada, and an electrical eni gineer and dressage instruc- j: I tor from Norway. |i
