If/when quiz can change, so we all get same questions.

I don't think, I know, you all must have had much easier questions than me yesterday.



It will be fairer.

It was as fair as possible before, as the questions were from the same level, in the same subject. It's was just unfortunate if the set you got had a lot of questions about U.S. baseball team averages, or some other obscure topic.

Besides it's only a bit of fun.

The questions aren't exactly high-brow.

No Shakespeare, no Greek/Roman poets, no Renaissance art, no opera, no philosophers.

I'm always at a disadvantage.

The one I got wrong today went something like: Who do some people think was responsible for writing Shakespeares plays? what would you have put for that? I put Francis Bacon and got it wrong!

Depends on what the options were, but probably Christopher Marlowe.

That was the answer but I was sure I'd heard Bacon's name connected with it.

Someone might have asked for a P on Blockbusters, and you heard it there.

Don't think that's a very fair question as loads of names have been put forward with no proof for any of them. Bloody Americans and their conspiracy theories!
