Editted to correct spelling, grammar

2. An ingredient of Ice Kacang (pronounced Kachung)
3. A US capital city starting with the letter 'C'

Hey, it was September 5th somewhere on the world, so your questions are perfectly in time! No need for difficult calculations, more than half of the world is ahead of FT time anyway.

Off subject for a second...I figured out the winners' list for July. Anyone interested and, if so, would they best be posted here or with last month's? Let me know please .

I think they should be posted in the August thread.

Round 4 is now closed.

Results will be posted shortly.
