Let's play The Weakest Link
Here's a list of questions from the Weakest Link book - these are the rules - you have to be nominated before you can answer, so for example I will say that the first question is Garinda's. He has to answer it and then nominate someone for question 2. If he's right he gets 50 points, if he's wrong the total score goes back to 0. You can bank (type in capitals) before you answer your question if you are unsure of the answer but you can't pass if you've been nominated to answer the question.
In other words, general Weakest Link rules
Try to nominate people who are online for the next question if you can so that we can keep it moving.
I'll tot up the scores when we've been through all 20 questions.
1. In the beauty industry, which M is a professional carer for hands and fingernails?
2. In music, is a piccolo a woodwind or a string instrument?
3. In which decade was the actress Dame Judi Dench born?
4. Would you find the alimentary canal on the moon or in your body?
5. In which decade was instant coffee invented?
6. In science, is 'plumbago' another name for graphite or for camphor?
7. Paella is a traditional dish of which country?
8. What is the largest of the Balearic Islands?
9. Which musical, set in Vietnam, is based on the true story of Madame Butterfly?
10. In modern science, is time the first, second, third or fourth dimension?
11. In clothing, would a cowboy wear chaps above or below the waist?

18. In America, PA is the postal abbreviation for which state?
19. In the UK, what type of vehicle is a Green Goddess?
