Weekly Bonus Question

10:43 UK time, Friday, 14 August 2009

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 since nobody likes a smart alec, kudos will be deducted for predictability in your suggestions.

This week's answer is HIGH-FAT HANGOVER. But what's the question?

UPDATE 1559 BST: The correct question is, how did Dr Gerald Weissmann, editor of the Federation of the American Societies for Experimental Biology, describe findings that a high-fat diet can lead to short-term memory loss?
