Hey, Qwerty did you make these questions up or did you actually get them from "WWTBAM"?

Coz they're dead easy!

Qwerty · 18-05-2001, 15:51

Question 1 to 14 were all from the WWTBAM Quiz Book, which my brother has borrowed from the School Library.
But Question 15 was made-up by myself.

Qwerty!

Oh Baby · 07-06-2006, 00:42

Shouldn\'t this be in TV Progs????

Just a thought

ScottishWoody · 07-06-2006, 00:48

that would be the easiest £1m question ever

structure · 07-06-2006, 06:53

some were hard and others easy

Hathor · 07-06-2006, 07:03

Question 4 would have nearly got me, and number 5 would have screwed me good and proper! Oh well, guess I'll have to stay on 30k then

P.S. What is the Melbourne cup? Is that something out of the neighbors set?

Cityfan1965 · 07-06-2006, 11:45

The first five questions are not typical of wwtbam, although they should be simple enough for anyone with a modicum of intelligence.
And BTW you may want to reword question 14. Hampshire is the biggest county by area of the answers available, but only no 8 in the list of biggest English counties.
