51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

My gloom at returning to work (and the tsunami of marking) was considerably alleviated when I realised that there was a quiz hidden in the map in the Campus Close-up article (News, 8 January).

Instead of universities being situated in their real locations, THE has come up with a sort of geographical Call My Bluff and, after checking the map against my atlas, I think that I have the answers.

The 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of the Highlands and Islands: looks like it¡¯s in Stornoway¡­true; Newcastle 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ: appears to be in Middlesbrough¡­bluff; Lancaster 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ: it has seemingly migrated to Morecambe¡­bluff; Aston 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ: hmm, tricky, but it looks more like Ludlow¡­bluff; the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Warwick: it seems to be in Worcester¡­bluff; the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama: in Bridgend?¡­bluff; The Open 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ: it is still in Milton Keynes¡­true; Reading 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ: I¡¯m a bit vague on the Thames Valley, however¡­true; the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ of Essex: smuggled up to Chelmsford¡­bluff. How did I score?

I¡¯m looking forward to the next quiz; thanks for cheering me up!
