Romance. Seduction. Science.

These are the themes of this year’s Feedback end-of-year competition. Imagine meeting the person of your dreams at a festive party. Your eyes meet. This is your moment. But what do you say? How can you woo your potential soulmate with witty words of love and science. So if you want to cuddle a chemist and see the reaction...pardon us....write down in no more than 30 words your best science related chat up line and you could be the lucky winner of one of 10 fantastic prizes...you never know, you might just use the line as well!

Ten lucky winners will each receive a New Scientist goody bag consisting of: one 128 megabyte USB stick, a set of the three New Scientist best-selling books (How to Fossilise Your Hamster, Why Don’t Penguins’ Feet Freeze? and Does Anything Eat Wasps?) PLUS a fabulous New Scientist bag (vibrant blue on the outside with a zingy red lining, a zipped pocket under the main flap and an internal pocket to secure your laptop).

Submit your entry using the form below or post your entry to “New Scientist Feedback Competition”, Lacon House, 84 Theobald’s Road, London WC1X 8NS, UK

The results will be published in the 22/29 December issue of New Scientist.
