Cathy solves THE WRITER OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. We'll write up a bonus 200 for her if she answers the clue.
She doesn't know who it was. The writer was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Rob also notes that he was born on this day in 1859.)
As long as they don't buzz our choice of prizes, we're okay. Cathy will look at a Coinwatch man's watch, an Schott Zwiesel 60-piece glassware set, and a Trevor Opray print.
And she'll take the glassware.
Harold may still look at the telescope, because he's keeping it.

Rhonda solves TO CUT ONE'S LOSSES.
No more losses to the Wheel at this point, and Rhonda certainly won't worry about losing an Apollo 21-speed mountain bike, a La-Z-Boy rocker recliner, or a Whirlpool microwave oven.
Rhonda's husband would insist on the bike.

Harold solves TIGER MOTH.
He wouldn't let his chance at a prize fly away. Harold may now finish with a Minelab metal detector, a Brosnan golf package, or a Hybrex phone system.
Even though he's not a keen golfer, he'll try the golf package.
