I'm wondering whether there's a 'correct' sequence of answers - for instance, it's clear that the answers to 1 and 2 are 'True', and the answer to 8 is 'False'. Do you think we can assume that there's a right and a wrong answer to each of them?

The office use part says "/14", and there are 14 statements. So the anecdote, poet and song could all be red herrings and the answers would be the only thing that score you points. Or if we ignore the first three questions, maybe there's a point each for the 11 remaining statements and one each available for the poet, song and anecdote. I think it's most likely that neither of these are the case, but it is still a mystery to me why they would score it out of 14 instead of 13.

Hm, I was actually thinking about whether the "/14" might stand for the total number of people to be selected.

Mine has been mailed out into the wicked world and if anything I hope I get a reply back with some witty comment about being denied access to an exclusive club.

I'm not filling the form out but I did find the mention of "interesting and/or transgressive content" rather curious.

Interesting idea.

How many people do you reckon will send in entries?

[Skelly Craig]

I can't say, but I am confident that it's going to be less than expected, since it is by post only, and no electronic application allowed. If I had to guess and try not to underestimate, I'd say less than 100. Maybe even just 60 people. Hard to say, and I'm just going by my feeling.

Could this mean DH has fled to a cave somewhere?

Mr Handler appears to be in e; or e. or eand or eso or ebut or something like that.

I wish I could enter, but it looks like you have to be 18.
