Marhofn Competition 2008
This year's competition is in two parts; a quiz and a puzzle:
Which bagger...
- Appears on an OS Landranger map? (There is only one correct answer, but it is on two adjoining English maps.)
- Was conceived by SP, played by WS and directed by RR?
- Called Dent 'a complete arsehole', as part of an infinite bagging project?
- Is capable of up to 200 bags per minute, without heavy bag support?
- Has a plurality of troughs and 66 claims?
- Argues at length that religious experiences do not rationally justify religious beliefs?
- Can climb a maximum gradient of 1 in 18 and weighs 13500 tons?
- Judged that blending fish for art is not cruel?
- Two points for each correct answer, but anyone answering Richard Webb or Jon Metcalf to question 7 will lose two points. Only question 1 might refer to a member of the Hall of Fame.

Answers to 1-9 each have one word, 10-16 have two words. One point for each correct answer. Maximum overall score is therefore 32. Answers should be sent to rhb@rhb.org.uk or the usual postal address by 2 June 2008. If there is a tie the winner will be decided by a penalty shoot-out at Builth Wells on 7 June (if you're not there a substitute will take your penalties).
