Weekly Bonus Question
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 must be sent by submitting a comment BELOW, where it says "Comments". Entries via 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 IT'LL TAKE A LOT OF ROCK, WATER AND DIRT.
UPDATE 1730 BST: It's part of the "world's most beautiful tweet" as judged by you-know-who ().
Of your woefully wrong efforts, we particularly liked:
- chopsofdulwich's How do you make a mountain out of a molehill?
- Suzanne's What's needed to assassinate Snap, Crackle and Pop?
- Fi-Glos's What's the secret behind the perfect Kiss fancy dress costume?
- MightyGiddyUpGal's IT staff choose their tug-o-war team for the picnic?
- and Richard Cleeve's I dont like football or big brother. How can I avoid them for the next month?
Thanks to all who entered.
