How to take part
Each issue of The Spectator until the Christmas issue (18 December) will carry a clue.
Each clue is made up of three separate questions, designed (except where stated) to give the same answer; all the answers, ex- cept the first week's, are names of places in the British Isles — making up a treasure trail which will lead eventually to the exact whereabouts of the treasure.
It will not be necessary to visit the places in question, but to be certain of arriving at the treasure it will be necessary to keep a record of all the places along the trail — in other words to solve all the clues in the order in which they appear, and to give reasons on the answer form.
Even if the complete sequence of clues is not solved correctly, it will still be possible, by great ingenuity, to guess at the hiding place of the treasure from only a partial set of answers.
