The official answers: The Communication
Design Partnership 2013 Christmas Cryptic Pop Quiz
 A very big thank you to all who entered. Yet again we received an astonishing number of entries
(many from people we have never heard of from various parts of the world!).
 No-one got them all right, the highest score being 47.
 We decided not to go with question no. 34 this year – we were on an economy drive.
 So here are the official answers.... some may make you groan.
 Nos. 22 and 46 sorted the men and women from the boys and girls.
 Please note that the Judge’s decision is final. Except if your answer was better and more clever than ours.
 Thank you again and we wish you all a prosperous, healthy and happy 2014.
