Good luck Blue, Thanks Frizzy, it looks like earlier we were writing and posting at the same time.
Way to go Blue this prize is for A$2000. I'm sure Frizzy will be along later to put you out of your misery. FYI the prizes now simply double except for the A$64,000 to A$125,000 jump.
To answer our Australian friend, yes, our host (the original - another great UK export to the world) is EXTEMELY irratating and deserves slow painful deaths.

Correct - you have just won A$32000 - blimey, it's a shame it's not real isn't it 
(Accordng to Cs rules in Enter here... ( http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?thread=27002&forum=26250 ) the next prize is 125,000 - that sounds an awfully big leap - you lucky devil.
A real stinker of a question, anyone?
