Comments on the competition
1.
Points to:

5: 36 – Obviously topical, so perhaps wouldn't be as good at another time, but nonetheless inventive.
4: 37 – Concise, with a lovely surface.
3: 50 – Again, a nice surface, but seems a little less smooth than the above.
2: 13 – The best of the definition only clues, I thought.
1: 23 – I like the juxtaposition of Greek and Roman imagery.

Must give a mention to 22, 21 and 50 as well, though – all good surfaces.
