Weekly Bonus Question
10:24 UK time, Friday, 19 March 2010
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz 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. Any answers submitted using the "Send us a letter" form on the right will be summarily ignored.
And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is HALF A WING.
UPDATE 1817 GMT: The answer relates to Google StreetView's latest comedy turn.
Of your wrong answers, we liked:
- Molly Moo's Who are the worst tribute band for the Eagles?
- SimonRooke's What do you end up with when tackled by Jonah Lomu?
- BaldoBingham's What does the wife consider as collateral damage when parking?
- ARoseByAnyOther's What Foghorn Leghorn had left after the divorce?
- Brian Saxby's In Jedi math, Y is to X Wing, as B is to what?
