You have plenty of time - until 14th June 2001!
All you have to do is click on any red icon which looks like this one (you'll
find them at the top and bottom of every page) and take a good look at the ten
pictures we have plucked from all over the MarineZine website. When you can say which
page each one comes from, e-mail us a list of all ten page names. If you
have identified them all correctly, your name will go into a box and, on June 15th
2001, Bella McCaw, the ship's parrot, will draw out five pieces of
paper, one at a time with 5 names on them. We will then e-mail each of the lucky
winners and give them a list of prizes to choose from In the meantime, you can
e-mail us with suggestions for the sort of prize you'd like to see on the list!

And here's another from Jill on 'Diefenbaker':
A man gets into the lift at the fifteenth floor, every morning, gets out at the ground floor and goes to work.
In the evenings, he comes back, carrying his briefcase and his shopping and gets into the lift but
always gets out again at the seventh floor and walks the rest of the way up the stairs, even when he is dog-tired. Why?

Baffling Birthdays (Do this on your calculator)
This is a good trick to use with a friend whose birthday or age you don't know. Tell them to follow the directions below with the calculator, and you will tell them in which month they were born and how old they are. The example is for a 33 year old, born in August.
Directions: Example
1.Enter the number of the month 8
2.Multiply by 10 80
3.Add 20 100
4.Multiply by 10 1000
5.Add 165 1165
6.Add your age [33] 1198
7.Now take the calculator back
from your friend and, without showing
them what you are doing, subtract 365 833
The last 1 or 2 digits are your friends age. The first digit/s is the number of the month in which they were born.
