Weekly Bonus Question

09:26 UK time, Friday, 28 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 A SUPERSONIC SKID. But what's the question?

UPDATE 1426: The correct question is, name a vintage fairground ride that's been hit by the Brussels ban on incandescant lightbulbs. (More details - Daily Express)

Of your deliberately wrong suggestions, we liked:

wortluck's Result of incorrect application of Enterprise's handbrake?

and narcobiker's What noise was heard when Usain Bolt lost his footing in the 100m?

I really do think the moderator should use the bank holiday to chill, and listen to some historic recordings of ISIHAC with Humphrey Lyttelton and the delightful Samantha who would often sit on his right hand.

For there you will find a suppository of innuendo that was (and is) broadcast freely by the BBC on the very enlightened radio 4.

I wonder what dear departed Humph would have made of this weeks bonus question which is?
