My favourite is "What is the legal age for drinking alcohol?" A 18 B 21 C 60

The answer is of course C.

[mailbin]

Interesting! In Lincolnshire (in the 70s) it was a Manchester screwdriver

If you would like to provide a clue to a working email, I'm happy to share one I put together for a Quiz which got cancelled. You might find a couple of suitable rounds, or ideas for rounds.

Thanks Steve, as in the from field eg [e-mail] and my surname is Whittingham.

That's my anonymity blown for all time round here.

[TimW]

[Nightjar]

Yes five is right.

[GB]

Is there any significant land area that is in dispute? Sufficient to change the order, I mean. Those little tiny islands the Chinese have built won't make any difference.

[Max Demian]

What if a term is used in more than one trade or profession? (Paternoster is a kind of lift, for a start.)

[Robin]

the quizmaster urges everyone to calm down and have a noggin before anyone gets their noggin knocked in with a nogging[1]?

[1] traditional spelling for the carpentry sense

[tim...]

and what would be the issues here?

which disputed boundary affects any of these countries (except for Tibet which would make China smaller not larger)

I have now found a second list putting China above the USA

but either way Russia is first, Canada is second
