In addition to those above, who submitted their brainteasers for marking, many hundreds of people bought them and battled with them throughout the autumn and Christmas seasons. Thank you all so much for supporting Forsight while driving yourselves potty in the process!

If you would like us to run another brainteaser in the summer, do email and let us know at jenny@forsightappeal.org.uk so we can gauge interest…

We think they are the perfect (low weight) addition to a holiday suitcase – and a great way to help us save sight in Wirral, Merseyside and beyond… If enough of you agree, we will make sure another one is ready for you, just after Easter… Thank you all, so much, for your support.
