In the following passage, the numbers 12345 represent different letters: I’ve just 1554 a flock of 5251 straining every 13452 to throw themselves into the 15345. It happened a 255 while ago, and it made no 15415. 4345 of them there were, acting like 4344351. They could not have been less 2315 if they had got drunk on 2345 at an 344. What 134 had they committed? I’m telling you, 131, it was like the Gadarene 12345. (See facing page for competition details). We’ve scrambled up the names of three French composers. Can you work out what they are? You’ll find the answers to the first two on the next page. The third you’ll have to work out yourselves, for a chance to win £50 or to enter our Mentathlon competition (details on facing page).
