Weekly Bonus Question

08:56 UK time, Friday, 21 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 TWO RAINCOATS. But what's the question?

UPDATE 1603 BST: The correct question is, what was Bob Dylan said to be wearing when he was arrested in New Jersey? (More details - the Guardian)

Of your deliberately wrong suggestions, we liked hobo9917's What does a bashful flasher wear?
