No plug and a solution

Last week I left you a word search to have a crack at and a few brave souls took up the challenge. Here, for those interested, is the solution, all Nobel Prize winning authors.

Dave King said...: Some surprises there, Jim. Surprising what you can learn from an' all - I should have got Doreen involved, she's the word search fan. Good to have something different once in a while, though.; 2 April 2009 at 12:01
Ken Armstrong said...: You should have done a word search with nothing in it for April Fools.

That would have been funny and ironic too. :); 2 April 2009 at 12:42
Jim Murdoch said...: Dave, glad you enjoyed it. I will do another one some time. The way I usually do it is to provide clues in exactly the same way as one would with a crossword. I hate simple lists where all you have to do is look them up, that's a tad too easy. The first one I ever did was for a Star Trek fan and all that was left at the end were a load of Q's which will be meaningless unless you're a Star Trek fan.

And, Ken, what a cruel idea. The bad bit's in you, it really is.; 2 April 2009 at 15:16
Conda Douglas said...: Thanks for posting the answers, Jim and Ken is evil, but funny!; 2 April 2009 at 17:18
Marion McCready said...: I did have a go at it but gave up at eight!; 2 April 2009 at 18:58
Jim Murdoch said...: You're welcome, Conda and you're quite right about Ken but we wouldn't have him any other way.

And, Sorlil, eight? [Shakes head that way] Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.; 3 April 2009 at 10:25
