The number of letters suggests 4, but I can only find 3

Dear all, I'm in trouble... I should have phrased a more accurate quiz question: "How many TRNC castle names do you find in this anagram "a nut avant breakoff flourish arthritis afternoons" AND GIVE THE NAMES?

So, to be honest: No1Doyen (Bill) is the winner with his answer: 4, although MarieB did better with her four names, although not quite right (because she has a couple of letters over).

Well, the exact answer is: Kantara, Buffavento, Saint (not St, MarieB!) Hilarion and Fourth Fortress (6 km west of Saint Hilarion, Hatty, see the map I've uploaded: http://is.gd/8puIF !).

Since protests in this Quiz are always overruled : Bill is the winner.

P.S. Should he questions be more difficult, easier or keep them at the current level?

Well done Bill, but we were both right. You didn't spell out the names, and I stupidly didn't bother to see Saint, cos I am so used to just saying St., but the question was 'How many...' and D.C didn'#t ask us to spell them.



Glad that Bill won, cos I will be there anyway!



And to be honest DC the questions are easy if you know the answers, difficult if you don't, sokeep them as they are. And congratulations on such good marketing!!!!!
