As always, the answers will be published next week, and you can supply your guesses to me via Twitter or Facebook. But there's a twist, this time. The first person to send me the correct answers before next week Tuesday will win a free copy of my fantasy short story ebook, A Petition to Magic! This will be by way of a coupon code that I will send to you, to be redeemed on Smashwords. In addition, I will publish your name as winner on this blog.
So what are you waiting for? Get solving!
