But I would like to respond a bit to peter.<br /><br />I think as a rule of thumb, we should <i><b>always</b></i> prove that we have seen the answer by specifying its location, whether or not there is a "What and where?" in the clue.<br /><br />For example, suppose on a signboard with the business name, <b>"ROYAL SPORTS PALACE"</b>, one is able to find many sporting brandnames, including Reebok, adidas, Nike etc. And the Q is set like this:<br /><br /><b>Q) Mulanya, ada duit, isteri dua, apa susah?</b> <br /><br />There is no mention of "What and where?" Yet when the answer is written, it should be written like this:<br /><br /><b>adidas @ ROYAL SPORTS PALACE</b>Corneliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049388322332876859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-32817300557922686332010-07-28T20:33:36.418+08:002010-07-28T20:33:36.418+08:00Thank you all for your comments.

So we wrote the answer as: ELBA @ (the name of the shop) - meant to tell the COC that we indeed saw the answer, and it was not just a guess.<br /><br />I would say that writing ELBA alone should qualify us for the full point. Because the question does not asked: What and Where. We are answering strictly to the question. Which is exactly my point here - ANSWER THE QUESTION.<br /><br />Looking at this Q29 - what is the question. Is the COC asking for the tagline or the name of the shop with that tagline or both. <br /><br />My call is the shop - taking cue from the first word of the question, ie. Their!! What is 'Their' referring to? Obviously the shop name. So to me the answer is 4Life. But I would probably add the tagline into the answer as well. I have learned that it is never too much to write when answering.<br /><br />But I have to disagree with the way Socrates29 wrote down the answer as: 4Life Together Building People, simply because 4Life and Together Building People are 2 separate entity and therefore there must be a separator.peternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-81582317799087668102010-07-28T13:42:40.984+08:002010-07-28T13:42:40.984+08:00Oh I am itching to respond now.

Simply identifying the "owner" of the tagline would be sufficient.<br /><br />However, in this case, since the tagline was not quoted verbatim, we need to both qualify that we had spotted a fitting tagline, plus its owner.<br /><br />Writing the answer like this (or the other way around) would have been acceptable, I would expect:<br /><br />Together Building People @ 4Life2 Romans 1 Impostorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620986324451691215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8760307254603261893.post-1117840083862222382010-07-28T10:25:07.625+08:002010-07-28T10:25:07.625+08:00haha... i am waiting for this...haha... i am waiting for this...CKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12664785949728997967noreply@blogger.com
