There is a conundrum at the hotel that most guests discover at breakfast time. There are two parts. Some guests crack part on within seconds others have stayed for many days and left asking not to be told the answer because they want crack it at home.

Part two is more difficult and you will not get any help with this. Over the last ten years three gentlemen have solved it, the first an American whose name we did not recall because he solved it in the first fortnight of being displayed – we thought it was too easy. The other stars are Mr Little and Mr Puddle hat’s off to them.
