É«ºÐÖ±²¥

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, É«ºÐÖ±²¥ 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 University of the Highlands and Islands: looks like it¡¯s in Stornoway¡­true; Newcastle University: appears to be in Middlesbrough¡­bluff; Lancaster University: it has seemingly migrated to Morecambe¡­bluff; Aston University: hmm, tricky, but it looks more like Ludlow¡­bluff; the University of Warwick: it seems to be in Worcester¡­bluff; the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama: in Bridgend?¡­bluff; The Open University: it is still in Milton Keynes¡­true; Reading University: I¡¯m a bit vague on the Thames Valley, however¡­true; the University of Essex: smuggled up to Chelmsford¡­bluff. How did I score?

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