Just like last year, it’s time for a Christmas Quiz. So here is this year’s edition. You could, I suppose, use Mr Google to get the answers but where’s the fun or honour in that? And it’s only for fun and honour, I’m afraid, since there are no prizes beyond the usual measures of personal satisfaction and the warm glow that comes from doing better than someone else…
The answers will be published in the New Year but if you’d like them before that you can always email me (alexmassie AT gmail.com). Have at it then, and best of luck.
CHRISTMAS QUIZ 2010:
1. Where could you find a countryside poet, a TV doctor, a defeated Presidential candidate and an English detective?
2. What didn’t happen in Berlin in 1916 or in Tokyo in 1940 or London in 1944?
3. An American cemetery, a British university and palace, a Glasgow music hall star’s valley and Henry II’s mistress are four fifths of what? And which member is missing?
4.
