The mystery of the week finally solved... (Royal Mint)

We asked, and you told us. As we puzzled over the identity of the strangers appearing on the Royal Mint's official Kate-and-Wills-engagement commemorative coin, you the readers jumped in to solve the mystery. Clearly, that is Butt-head standing in for the future king of England -- and thanks to those who corrected our confused guess that it was Beavis. As for the lovely lady by his side -- obviously, none other than the late, great Janis Joplin. Thanks for playing. Now we'll never get invited to the wedding.
