HERE or HERE is puzzle number 3. We hope Members will find this one very much easier! Remember that for an identification to be correct both the name of the composer and the unambiguous name of the work are required.

I thought I had better try and redeem my poor points situation by contributing a puzzle:

Moderator has taken off link so we can't cheat!

Perhaps, Stuart, but next time you do it make sure the name of the piece isn't in the filename  Cheesy

Mr. Sudden is absolutely correct! He is our first winner - there can never be another - and it took him only three minutes, so our confidence in the Membership is beginning to revive. 100 + (100 - 3) = 197 points will be entered under his name in the Great Table.

Another puzzle a little later . . .

Member Macrae posted a snippet earlier under the title of Puzzle Four to which we removed the link for reasons which will be clear from the preceding posts. We have just found this little snippet floating around our Festplatte and thought it might afford a little amusement. Not knowing when Member Macrae might choose to reinstate his snippet we will give ours the title Puzzle Four. We hope he is not offended.

Puzzle Four

It is very much from a standard repertoire piece. It should not detain anyone for too long.

In any case we do find these quizzes very much like a game of Catch or Frisbee™. It is of course a trivial matter to propel the object out of reach of the other players. Similarly it affords little amusement if the object be propelled so as to provide too simple a catch - but the second option is where we normally choose to begin for warm-up purposes, allowing our playmates to demonstrate their jumping and diving skills later in the piece as the shadows grow long and the heady scents of sausages, cuts of meat undergoing the bar-be-cueing process and proprietary brand tomato sauce drift across the field or even better the sands.

How this does very much remind us of our youth in the outer suburbs of Melbourne when we would oft repair to open spaces in the country-side for innocent physical recreations...

We knew it wouldn't take long.  Smiley

100+(100-5)=195 points to IGI assuming we have correctly understood the rules.

Having recovered from my earlier incompetency I hereby posit:

Puzzle 5

which is, I'm sure you will agree, a rather charming excerpt.

That reminds me of a cutting they had on the News Quiz.

Who starred in "Enter the Dragon"?
