A riddle...
This is a riddle I made up, loosely based on a Chinese exam question about sailing.
In the British General Election on 12 December, these were the results in the fictional constituency of Haverford:
Dennis Taylor (Con) 42,601 votes
Mark Ellsworth (Lab) 18,461 votes
Margaret Stone (Lib Dem) 16,064 votes
Michael Winter (Brexit Party) 4,082 votes
Barbara Morris (Green) 803 votes
And here's the riddle:
HOW OLD IS BARBARA MORRIS?

And here's the riddle:
HOW OLD IS BARBARA MORRIS?
Clues:
- All the same candidates (including Barbara) ran in the previous election on 8 June 2017
- Michael Winter ran in the previous election but was at the time a member of UKIP
- You will need a basic knowledge of how British General Elections work
- The total number of voters was 82,011 out of 85,000 constituents. They must have read my blogpost on the matter.
- There is some irrelevant information above which is included specifically to confuse
- There is a correct answer, and you can work it out using just the information above and some additional knowledge of British politics
- You will not be happy when you learn the answer
The answer (goes to a tweet with the answer)
Part 2
You probably weren't very happy with that answer, so here's another question:
WHO WON THE 2017 ELECTION?
Clues:
- You will need to know specific information pertaining to the 2019 election
- The answer is defined by one candidate
- You do not need to know the answer to part 1 in order to answer part 2
