    As usual, makes Round Britain Quiz looks like child's play, so knock yourselves out:

    My parents and elder siblings used to be able to pool their efforts to crack a decent proportion of the questions (say a quarter, or possibly even a bit more) at Christmas family gatherings back in the day. My contribution was invariably zero.

      How does anyone crack those questions?

        It used to require days in a very good reference library.

        Now the emphasis is more on deciphering the questions, as many are set so as to frustrate Internet searches.

          I normally manage three or four (answers) at most. This year I've completed a whole section (13). That shouldn't be beyond many on here.

            Google certainly helps but it remains impressively difficult. I don't know if all 18 groups of 10 necessarily have common themes do they? Maybe they do,there's a couple of groups I've made little or no progress on.

            I managed 10 off the top of my head and successfully guessed another 4. A bit of rudimentary Googling has me up to about 80 but I'll not be investing much more time than that!
