If it was 1.00am how could possibly recognise a car from headlights coming up behind you.

Exactly. Well done Kazthorn. It would only be solved by an Aussie (or possibly Salocius we don't know what his answer was).

Must be all those English bright lights - not enough open spaces. ;-)

Tokens on their way.

Benny - you can lock this one up. Cheers.

Trust me! That's the first thing I thought of and then thought, nah, it won't be that easy

My answer was the same but I don't agree completely with it because it assumes that there is no street lighting or moonlight. In a streetlit environment it is still possible to recognise a car behind you even if it has it's headlights on. Secondly, a lot of cars have destinctive headlight patterns and can be recognised by this alone.

Just my views on the subject.

Sometimes I chose to leave them open a while after they're solved when I think a discussion might follow

I thought she wasn't talking to you Benny. Do I have to pay more??? ;-)

Benny, if you would be so kind could you possibly close this competition. I would like to submit another one.

Thanks, and God Bless,

Hyno.

PS - You catch more flies with honey Catz.
