Think of a Number Weekend quiz winner:

The correct answer in multiplying the 'figures' in a famous Herbert Howells test piece (3) with the Musketeers of George Hespe's 1953 British Open set-work (3) then adding the 'Blooms' (5) of Gareth Wood's 1992 European Championship set-work before subtracting from Robert Redhead's 'Isaiah' (40) was of course — 26!

Well done if you got it right.
