This unique tournament was won by Sue and Andy Wallace in the Pairs category. They completed the fiendish 3D spinning jigsaw puzzle (and half the buffet) noting the anniversary of the last Queen concert with associated ‘She’s a Killer Queen’ theme in the recorded time of I hour 37 minutes just pipping ‘2 min 53 sec Times Ace’ John Henderson by 10 minutes.

The email section was won by Jim Pennington of Aberdeen who completed the puzzle in 2 days 8 hours 18 min.
