It was actually Bring up the Bodies I mentioned on the book thread, but thought I'd go for an older one that people might have forgotten about - FAIL! |

Q3: Name a prefix. Pico: 2 willrobrobu HutchGF Micro: 2 Ironside Rubbish Exa: 1 Longines Mega: 1 Redsgirl Giga: 1 TightEnd Nano: Verndog Googol: 1 David1303 Pass: 0 Claw75 Incorrect: 7 Bi - moonandback Octa - dwh103 Tri - Minttrav To deal with possible objections: Bi, Octa and Tri, whilst valid prefixes, do not refer to an order of magnitude. If you can write 2, 8 or 3 as 10^x where x is a whole integer I'll reconsider though  |

I'm surprised nobody went for The White Tiger since we had that as one of the short lived Blonde Book Club selections. Couldn't believe the score of eight for Vernon Gpd Little |
