Dear Bernard, On the riddle of Sharpe’s father: “Take you out, put me in and a horse appears in this happy person!” Is the answer something to do with books? ‘Take you out’ = DATE; ‘Put me in’ = AUTHOR (i.e. you); ‘Happy Person’ = CONTENT. I am not really sure where I am going with this but am I on the right lines? Many thanks.

Gareth
