Bertie sighed. There was no way they were going to win. But they couldn’t just stand by and watch Nick come top. They had to do something.

“Where are we?” said Eugene.

Bertie read a label on the wall. “The Blue Bedroom. And look, this is the last question: ‘What can you see on the chamber pot?’”

“What’s a chamber pot?” asked Darren.

Bertie pointed. “Look! By the bed!”

“Ha ha!” giggled Darren. “It’s a potty!”

On a cabinet sat a pale-blue potty with a Chinese pattern.

“Dragons,” said Bertie. “That’s the answer. It’s got dragons on it!”

“Brilliant!” Darren wrote it down in the box. “Do you think we’re the first ones here?”

“Looks like it,” said Eugene.

Suddenly Bertie had an idea. “Why don’t we hide it?”

“What?” said Eugene.

“The potty. Then Nick’s team will never get the answer.”

Sandra stared. “Miss Boot said we weren’t to touch anything.”

“She’ll never know,” said Darren. “Anyway we’re not going to touch it. Bertie will.”

“Me?” said Bertie.

Darren shrugged. “It’s your idea. And I’m doing all the writing, I can’t do everything!”

“I’m not touching it,” said Eugene, hastily.

“Nor me,” said Sandra.

Bertie hesitated. If he got caught he’d be in major trouble. But it would be worth it to see Nick’s face when he, Bertie, gave the right answer. He got down on his hands and knees to crawl under the rope barrier.

“Hurry up!” hissed Darren. “Before anyone comes.”

“I am hurrying!” Bertie reached out and made a grab for the potty, knocking over a candlestick. It rolled across the cabinet and clattered on to the floor.
