    OK, so yesterday I was watching a quiz game channel where they read a question out live and people can phone in and win a prize if they get the answer right. I tuned in at about 6pm and the question was finally answered at about 9:30pm a whole three and a half hours later. They must of received about 500 calls for this particular question. No one could get it. The oringal prize was £550 but gradually kept rising till it reached £900. I tried calling in but there was a massive queue in front of me so I gave up in the end. I had an answer but it turned out to be wrong anyway. Finally someone called in and got the right answer and won themselves £900. I know what the answer is but i'm setting the challenge for all you afterdawners out there who fancy a go. I can't offer you a prize so the person who answers correctly gets the satisfaction of being clever. Just simply write in your answer. I will post again to see if anyone has got it.


    Here is the puzzle/question that was asked:
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Cardiff 7 Miles
    Swansea 33 Miles
    Pembroke 76 Miles

    Add all the miles up?
    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    The answer has nothing to do with the places just the numbers so just focus on them.

    [bold]BTW The answer isn't 116. Good luck.[/bold]

    It has nothing to do with the places ... hmmm ... so the answer isnt Newport.

    But it could be a standard increment question... but that would make it 107.66 and that dont sound right.

    Letters for vowels maybe a = 6 i = 1 etc .... but no fourth destination.....

    My brain hurts so I'm gonna stop now with my final offering of....

    69
