4. In the event that the person posting the challenge has
not responded to a guess or question within 12 hours, or someone who was the
winner of the previous challenge has not posted a new challenge within 12 hours
(unless they have declared Open House) then the competition will be null and
void and it will become Open House.

Hi Graeme, hope all is well? Sorry we went off in to French! It's American, and from a reasonably well known manufacturer.

Afternoon David
