Here's the idea, we have questions we want answers to. The overall best answer gets $200,000. It's simple!

The Questions:

1) What the factions in Shangri La do with all the equipment we have to deliver them?

2) If you were a townie, who would you be, in which city and why?

3) Who should launch the Sleuthetania, and why?

The rules:

You can submit up to 3 answers, but only one per question.
The deadline for submission is 23.59pm server time on 13th June 2008.

Good luck!

1) They sell them on Sleuth-Bay. I heard a hot tip that Leopard Banded Fedoras are the next hot item!

2) The baker in Cairo has the easiest job because so many people are on low carb diets and when the university semester ends it is VACATION time!

3) Lady J- She personifies good sportsmanship, she helps everyone both new and experienced alike and she hasn't been recognized for all she has done for Sleuth.

1) They give it to their 007 agent who disguises himself as a normal detective, goes to the other faction and gets good with them by giving the items to them, winning their trust.

2) The bartender in New York, because i could befriend Shady! And who wouldn't want Shady as his/her friend? :)

3) Big Lucy! Would love to see her out of that smokey backroom! :)

1)They smuggle them into Cairo to sell on the black market at inflated prices (due to the blockade). They then use this money to provide basic living essentials to their supporters. This roundabout economy is necessary since no one in Shangri La actually works, they just sit around writing bad poetry about animals.

2)The Banker in Cairo. I could rummage through the bank vault to discover what kinds of secrets could be found in the vault of a town with no THs.

3) The hermit of Shangri La. Once he's been lured out into the public eye I'd grab him and shake him until he tells me the whole story about exactly went on in those mysterious caves of his.

I've got a theory... it must be bunnies! or maybe midgets... but I digress:

1) What the factions in Shangri La do with all the equipment we have to deliver them?

It's all just a ruse to collect a large amount of females clothes for a group of very confused men living in a mythical mystical land which seems to be basically devoid of women except for the owner of the tea shop :s

When it boils down to it, Steeper, Tiger, Scholar, all boundaries and rivalries are meaningless on those cold winter nights when there's nothing to do but play dress up.

I mean, seriously, you haven't lived until you've seen Scholar Toe do his Ava Gardner impersonation during Saturday night at the Shangri La Proms.

2) If you were a townie, who would you be, in which city and why?

I was gonna say the Don of La Cosa Nostra, only because I've watched far too many gangster movies for it not to be appealing. + there's the added bonus of having an actual useful purpose for the Three Legged Joe ... well his head at least.

But ultimately [and seriously] I think I'd like to be Big Lucy. There's something romantic, and perhaps poignantly sad, about her character that has always appealed to me. A tragically big woman in a flapper dress belting out the blues to a dimly lit room, full of cigarette smoke and spell-bound punters...

3) Who should launch the Sleuthetania, and why?

Whilst I'd like to say that Big Lucy should launch the ship, just coz she could give it a big push start, I don't think she gets out much, so I'll go with Sunny.

Once and and while reality should meet fantasy (or visa versa.) As Shady might say in his [distant past] ramblings 'If I was youse bums I'd be careful about bitin' da hand that feeds youse all. Big Mama runs dis town and youse all better pay da Piper!'

[apologies to Shady's ghost-writer but who actually speaks like that!]

Still sortin' through the paperwork and the red tape, huh? Yeah, big reason why I got outta the business. Well, let us know when y'all get things sorted out, okay? Good luck!! ;-)

Hi all, sorry about the delay. I've had a lot on my plate recently and some things have had to be left.

Firstly, I'd like to thank you all for your entries, we've had a lot of fun reading through them and we appreciate everyone's efforts :).

Ok, to the winner... well, his name keeps popping up in these competitions and I guess it's no co-incidence, but we have agreed that Secret Squirrel provided us with the answers we wanted to hear. Congrats!! :)
