... for y'all to consider if you will, whilst awaiting the freshly-bathed return of our little piggies.


The evening before last I spent in the delightful company of friends in the country. We travelled by tube to Germany, Scotland, France, Greece, Egypt, Czechoslovakia, Portugal and Spain, yet never left the room. We stayed indoors yet needed the company of 100 keys to escape.

What was I doing?



Extended supplementary quiz available if it gains any interest…


EDIT: I suggest we give everyone a day to see this, then fire in (by open post) any answers that seem possible to your warped and febrile imaginations! [notwink]

Well - I guess you can get tubes of beer from all of those countries, and you would be as drunk as a skunk after all that lot, and would need 100 keys for them to let you outta jail (or gaol, whichever you prefer - you don't collect £200 either way!)


EDIT:

Sorry, mav - I didn't see your edit before shoving this in - but as it isn't what I really think is the answer, I'll leave it in and post my real answer tomorrow

Ah, those little piggies!

So, have you figured out who's behind the bluffs?

Surfing the 'net. The tube is the crt of your monitor and the 100 keys are the ones on your computer keyboard (this varies from keyboard to keyboard. My keyboard at work has 101 and this iMac has 108, but 100 is a good first order estimate.)
