Weekly Bonus Question
16:34 UK time, Friday, 19 February 2010
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz 7 days 7 questions will offer an answer. You are invited to suggest what the question might have been.
Suggestions should be sent using the COMMENTS BOX IN THIS ENTRY (and not in the form on the right).
Any answers submitted using the form on the right will NOT be included.
And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is "TUXEDOS TO THE TRAINING CAMP".
UPDATE 1634 GMT: The real question was: "What did Shakhtar Donetsk players not take with them?"
Of your wilfully and deliberately wrong questions, we liked:
- LaurenceLane's What's the first requirement when you are selected for Strictly Come Dancing?
- SimonRooke wrote: What do you require to attend the Bullingdon Club's selection course?
- Potholes_in_my_lawn's How do M16 refer to aspiring 007 agents?
