"A 91-year-old woman has been questioned by police in Germany - after she filled in the blanks in a piece of modern art based on a crossword puzzle.
The pensioner, who has not been named under German privacy law, was questioned under caution after she filled in the work valued at 80,000 pounds.
"Reading-work-piece", a 1977 work by Arthur Kopcke of the Fluxus movement, essentially looks like an empty crossword puzzle.
Next to the work is a sign which reads: "Insert words".
The hapless pensioner explained to police that she was simply following the instructions.
"The lady told us she had taken the notes as an invitation to complete the crossword," a police spokesman said.
The elderly lady was part of a group visit to Nuremberg's Neues Museum, where the work is displayed.
If the museum didn't want people to follow the artist's instructions, they should put up a sign to make that clear, she told police."

Does anyone have any information on how she did, were all her answers correct?
