30 you can work out for yourself by writing them all down! You need all the same ones as me. Any clues on the pics- totally clueless.

38 Mad Hatter Day

Why 6th October / 10th June? The Hatter, whom Alice was told was mad, was depicted in illustrations sporting a top hat which had a piece of paper sticking from with the words "In this style 10/6". The 10/6 in this instance, no doubt, referred to the cost of the hat in old English money, i.e. "ten shillings and sixpence". However, the founders of Mad Hatter Day decided that this could also represent the day on which Mad Hatter Day should be held. So, it is therefore held on 10/6 - October 6th or June 10th depending on how you read it. So in the US it is October 6th, and in other places such as Great Britain it is June 10th.

Thanks for that one answer

JJS- not really studied the pics yet trying to get written questions to some sort of nearness first, but not having too much luck yet

Worked out the 34-39 one- it's to do with the lottery.

Got that from your clue jjs, thanks.
Still waiting for a nice win on that.
Sorry no help with the others yet

Amelia,

If the Military Arms is in Sandbach then perhaps you can bribe - I'm sure that you can think of a suitable way - Geoff into giving you the answers...

Best wishes,

Caravaggio

I would first have to know who Geoff is!!

I am no where near Sandbach

Pictures 31-35 have me baffled! Does anyone have any ideas, then perhaps a link will emerge?!!

Amelia,

The landlord of the Military Arms in Sandbach is Geoff Connor and each year, for a considerable number of years, the pub has produced a set of equally-devious questions which can be bought for £1.00 - will all proceeds going to Alder Hey Children's Hospital. It would seem that your Military organises some similar and it would seem that we have just experienced one of life's amazing coincidences...

Have a Happy New Year.
