    Priya & Deepa - It has definitely been a very good start for all of us! I did not realise that I had to post the finish line as well! Have PM'ed Priya on that and letting it out here as well. I am done with the first cake too!
    Awaiting the questions! It would be good if you can let me know during what part of the day the questions will be out - just to ensure I do not miss on the response owing to change in time zones...

    Thank You Very Much and Fellow Ladies Congrats :)

    Hi ILites,

    It's exam time :biggrin2:

    1. Finish this quote from the book :

    " The good dog, he does not leave..... ( the bone / the squeaky toy / the scent )...."

    2. Why does Poirot come to King's Abbot?

    3. What is the inscription on the ring?

    4. Why do you think Poirot prints that message in the papers?

    5.. Was it right of Poirot to give the murderer time to confess?

    Please send the answers as PM by tomorrow (Saturday) evening (Indian time).


    @naliniravi @helpmeangel @chillbreeze @RamyaVaradharajan @Laks09 @jingi92 @Kishw @SRK @Tavishi25 @analcite @Indhradhanu @dvl and @BavyaDinesh
