Feel free to boo and hiss me for being a pain...

I'm probably closing the gate after the horse has bolted here, as 
several of you have posted responses to Caius' opening gambits quiz.  
Okay, let's face it, there are already several sleek ponies whinnying 
and snorting their way into the distance.  

>From a moderating point of view, I think we would encourage people to 
send their answers direct to Caius, so that others can have a go at 
guessing without having seen the answers.  It may be a bit late for 
that now, but it would be helpful if the ins and outs and general 
ponderings were, at least, discussed on OT Chatter rather than here.  

Whatever happens, I hope Caius will reveal the answers in due course –
 I'm in agony already!

In the past, we ran similar quizzes (quotes, anagrams, word squares, 
crosswords and so on), in which the person who set the quiz would 
adjudicate the offlist entries and declare a winner.  The winner 
would then be expected to set another quiz and declare the winner of 
that, and so on, until it all fizzled out.  Maybe we should think of 
doing something like that again, but OT Chatter is probably the best 
place for it.
