A thousand things to make with matchsticks

The question was: Mary is retiring at the end of this week. What plans have been made in preparation?

The options were:

• "Something will come up"
• "We'll have to have a think about this"
• "We'll need to prioritise"
• "There's plenty of time yet"
• "We'll have to sort out an arrangement for that"
• "We can't say anything at the moment"
• All of the above

The 81% of you who said: "All of the above" were, sadly, exactly right. The rest of you were too optimistic for words.

Hemlock all round, kids!
