Susan--

I'd be surprised if you did not fit #1. I'll declare you the tentative winner of #1. Just in case you subsequently disqualify yourself, anyone else who thinks they qualify for #1 should go ahead and contact me (off-list!) just in case.

For #2 and #3 PLEASE remember to contact me OFF LIST at [log in to unmask] to avoid giving away the answers or revealing Charlie Webster's killer.

Kevin
