Weekly Bonus Question
15:50 UK time, Friday, 22 January 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). And since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.
This week's answer is WANNABE AND THE OTHER ONES.
UPDATE 1604 BST: The correct question is, they will be used in a new musical but how would most people describe the Spice Girls' best songs? (More details - )
Of your wilfully and deliberately wrong questions, we liked:
- Meldrewreborn's What were the worst record/cd releases of the 20th century?
- SkarloeyLine's Default answer on Essex careers questionnaire?
- Fubby's Letter A's wishlist to Santa?
- Nick Fowler's What were David Beckham's ten Desert Island Discs?
Thanks to all who entered.
