When are you coming to the UK to run a puzzle hunt from a library in Wolverhampton? Apart from 1897.

(Is the Wolverhampton library system aware of your book? Do they have a copy?)

:-D Doubtless I am not the only UK person willing to help here, though moving from way north of Wolverhampton to way south. (ETA: there is such a thing as the Midlands Puzzle Party, though it's mostly for physical puzzles. As far as I can tell, it's in Warwick, about 45 miles SE of Wolverhampton.)

Why Wolverhampton? Other than that it's quite a cool name, which is enough. But so is Ashby-de-la-Zouch.

The IAAF web site suggests she scored 4386 in an indoor pentathlon in Winnipeg in 2007. No joy at finding a modern pentathlete with an appropriate name but the search continues.

Lucky guess, but please tell the story whose existence you're teasing.

Unrelatedly, there is a Canadian heptathlete with the surname Zelinka. She won silver in the Commonwealth Games, so hurrah for her.
