A ground-breaking art exhibition opening tomorrow documents Somerset-based 40 Commando Royal Marines’ last tour of Afghanistan through an extra piece of military kit – the Combat Art Kit. The bespoke camouflaged packs, which fit neatly into a combat trouser pocket, were distributed to 500 Marines of all ranks. They were not only allowing the men to document their lives, but to express their feelings. See West Country Life tomorrow

Impossipuzzles Who am I? 1 “You’ve been scribbling and cursing,” said Martin. “What’s the problem?” “It’s a girl I met, Dad,” Dave replied. “She wouldn’t give her phone number. Only that its initial three-digit part is 447 more than the last three digits of its fourdigit second part, but 447 less than the first three of that second part.” What was the complete seven-digit number? 2 If my first were a nine. And my second a three. I’d be six times as much. As the number that’s me. So if only you’ll try, and you’ll surely agree. It’s quite easy to find. What three digits I be. 3 “It’s too bad Susan’s labrador didn’t get first prize at the show,” said Linda. “Well, I suppose there were a lot to choose from,” Dick replied. “And a lot of people in that hall, I’m sure.” Linda smiled. “No, it wasn’t crowded,” she told him. “There were forty heads there, and a hundred legs, all people and dogs.” How many of each? 4 When I visited the professor’s house, his gardener was pushing an old hand-mower where vegetables used to grow. “That lawn’s new,” I commented. “A right-angled triangle with straight sides, all right, but what a funny shape for a lawn.” “It’s the professor’s idea,” said the gardener. “The sides are all exact metres. He says the perimeter is a perfect cube, and the smallest one that will work.” What were the dimensions of that lawn? 5 “It’s certainly not your day,” said Rick. “You’ve lost all seven games.” “You’re telling me!” Joe laughed. “Just 13.51 dollars down in all, each game after the first, 31 cents more than the game before.” How much did Joe lose in the first game? 6 Sam had to have his little bit of fun when Susan asked about the price of the leg of lamb she’d picked. “Well, lady,” the old man said. “If two and a half cost you £3.50, three and a half would cost you the price of that.” How much was Susan’s leg of lamb?
ONE A politician, I was born in County Down in 1965. I was the LibDem MP for Montgomeryshire until 2010. I was engaged to TV weather girl Siân Lloyd for four years and later had a relationship with one of the Cheeky Girls
TWO A singer, I was born in London in 1985. I attended the Sylvia Young stage school and recorded an unreleased album before finding fame. I won the third series of The X Factor and my debut single was called A Moment like This
THREE An actor, I was born in Nebraska in 1941. I made my first film appearance in 1972. In 1991 I was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor, but lost to Anthony Hopkins. My films include Cape Fear, The Thin Red Line and Hotel Rwanda
FOUR An author, I was born in Minnesota in 1941. My husband was an Iranian psychiatrist, and I won the Pulitzer Prize in 1989. My novels include Back When We Were Grownups and The Accidental Tourist
FIVE A singer, I was born in Manchester in 1970. A member of Take That, I enjoyed a brief acting career after the band split in 1996. I sang the song Wooden Boat on the Take That album, Beautiful World
SIX An actress, I was born in Indiana in 1965. I was raised in South Africa from the age of nine. I was spotted by Steven Spielberg whilst appearing in a television miniseries, and chosen to play the role of Jewish maid Helen Hirsch in Schindler’s List. I am also wellknown for my role as Miss Honey in Matilda
