We had a few comments last time suggesting that the challenge which we gave you was a little too easy. Well, here's something which will take a bit more work, but has a few things in common with the last challenge.
There are three parts to the solution. What is the connection between the men in the first list and the women in the second list? Which man pairs with which woman? And what is the hidden quotation?
Just to make things a little more interesting, GCHQ will be offering copies of 'Big Bang' the latest book by Simon Singh, the well known mathematician and code expert, to six successful solvers whose names will be drawn from a hat.
Answers should be emailed to pressoffice@gchq.gsi.gov.uk and must be received by Thursday 27 January 2005. After that cut-off date, we will publish a hint to guide those who need some extra help on the understanding that they will not be allowed to submit their solutions for the prize draw.
Answers to the challenge and names of prize winners will appear on the website on Monday 7 February 2005.
