Hey guys. Turns out I'm busy tonight, so in typical rsq farce style I'm going to have to move the reveal. I've set the date to next Tuesday instead. Hope this is ok with everyone. Anyone who hasn't entered yet: get some answers in! Will only take you 2 minutes to come up with some  |

Question 8 - are the answers all going to be whales, or are you looking for specifics? If you're going to whale different answers, then there aren't many correct ones - so it might have to be a pass.

There are not many answers to question 8. There are 3 obvious answers, and 3 not so obvious answers to my knowledge (or at least according to QI lol)
A couple of the questions have limited answers, but are perhaps more difficult.
Tactical usage of your 2 passes is recomended.

There are well over a dozen answers, but you might lump some together as whales (e.g. Sperm whale and Blue whale being the same answer for an aquatic mammal). If you're going to do that, then I'll pass. |

Depending on what you put it may well be whaled into a more suitable form. Take a punt, or just pass it |

Of course, just because I consider there to be 6 doesn't mean that I'm correct. Objections may be made.
But that would involve disagreeing with Stephen Fry..

He isn't a physicist. I've passed anyway. |

Just a reminder to everyone that the reveal for this is tomorrow. Anyone who plans on entering that hasn't yet, start getting your answers in Anyone who wasn't planning on entering, why not? Take 2 minutes from your day to write some answers down and send them to me |
