Christmas Competition

We offered a bottle of bubbly for the wittiest answer to the following question:

Who are the three wise men?

"I don't know" replied Hildi Mitchell (CCS), "but it's very rare to find three wise men all together."

Angi Drew (MSU) thought the answer was obvious:

1) The one who gets into the University car park before 8.45am.
2) The one who never needs network access on a Tuesday morning.
3) The one who leaves campus by 4.15pm.

Annis May Timpson (EAM), meanwhile, named the three wise men R, A and E, riding camels called Q, A and A.

A bottle of bubbly goes to each of our three wise women.

And our runner-up is Sue Straw (Postgraduate Admissions) for the following answer: "The three wise men are from Estates Department and the leader is saying 'I still say this is the quickest route off campus." Her prize is a slapped wrist for getting the name wrong.

The winner of a family ticket for Alice in Wonderland at the Gardner Arts Centre was Sean Goddard (Reader Services, Library) who got all five answers correct:

1) What was Lewis Carroll's real name?	b) Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
2) When was Alice Adventure's in Wonderland published?	a) 1865
