Rats I thought that one might trip you. I have been trying to find questions that the internet cannot help with, and I couldn't find the answer to that one anywhere on-line. No mor HHGTTG questions, you are obviously too good. I'll have to think. In the mean time over to anyone else.

OK let's end this one as I am sure this next question is worth the million. The answer, like the truth, is out there but I will be amazed if you can get it.
So for the full virtual A$1M what is "X-File Surprise Major"
a) a character from the TV series "The X Files"
b) a specialist tool used in dentistry to shape the crown of the tooth
c) a type a musical instrument
d) a method of re-arranging 8 numbers into different patterns
Good luck, and remember (hint) the truth is out there.

Any luck, from the audience? BTW Major is also a musically term.

OK
X File Surprise Major is a Method of arranging 8 numbers.
In fact as it was pointed out it is a bell-ringing method, a very obsure one, one only rung for the first time in September last year and if I know these obsesive ringers it has never been rung since.
More?

............since we started, the Cirrius Cybernetics Corps failed take over bid of The Guide has led to a widespread crash in galatic share prices, resulting in a massive devaluation of the Altarian dollar, so in fact now A$1M is worth about £1.26p........
Cash or Check?

Weeellll... given that I have no children, and would like all future potential children 'taken care of', and I'd love to have my horse clipped for free, and my neighbours already know what a deviant I am (believe me, they're worse), I have no hesitation in DEMANDING MY MONEY!
