Find-Outers Series Quiz

[Susie9598]

A church bell?

[Courtenay]

Yes, that's one (I'm pretty sure Fatty just says "a bell" — having to do this from memory at the moment — but we can assume that's the sort he meant). Well done and over to you.

In the Mystery of the Invisible Thief, what is the name of the irascible military man who, along with Goon, has the biggest feet in Peterswood?

[Bertie]

I was just about to write Major Plank with complete confidence, when I suddenly realised that's a similar character Jeeves & Wooster encounter.
The one in Invisible Thief is Colonel Cross.

[Susie9598]

That’s right! Well done, Bertie. Your turn.

[Bertie]

Thanks, Susie.

In The Mystery of the Missing Necklace, when Number 3 enters the sweet-shop where most of the Find-Outers are, what does he purchase?

[Yak]

a lemonade? That's a total guess but they seemed to sell a LOT of that.

[Bertie]

No, Yak.
It isn't actually food or drink.

[Anjalli]

Cigarettes?

[Bertie]

It's a tricky question so I'll say that's close enough, Anjalli.
It's actually a box of matches, but we're told he then went out lighting a cigarette - so the matches were for the cigarettes you guessed at.

Over to you.

[Anjalli]

Thank you Bertie, that was nice of you.

New question:

In 'Holly Lane' Daisy gave Fatty a ticket for the Church Sale to sell to Mr. Goon when he was disguised. How much was the ticket?

[Yak]

Five shillings?

[Anjalli]

Yes Yak, or 2 half crowns that Mr. Goon paid Fatty for the ticket when he was disguised as a foreign lady and read his palm. Also five bob as Mr. Goon said when he went to Fatty's mom to ask about said foreign lady. Over to you.

[Yak]

It did occur to me that modern editions probably have this in post decimal currency

In Banshee Towers, what was the colour of the boat that was painted out of the forged sea picture?

[Courtenay]

Red!
