The General Knowledge Quiz

Don't tell me I'm not helpful!

I'm in a particularly generous mood today, so I thought I'd share my correct answers to the General Knowledge Quiz from the July 1987 issue of Good Housekeeping that I picked up in the hospital waiting room. It says the prize on offer expires at midnight tonight, so you’ll need to act fast!

Answers:

1. Don't know. 🤷

2. Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee. 🪄

3. The British Scone Association.

4. 56.3%.

5. The Ford Cortina Mk4 1600E.

6. Haven’t a clue. 🤷

7. The Milkybar Kid. (the third one. Did you know there were ten?)

8. I think it’s either Baked Alaska or The Talking Clock.

9. The 1824 Anglo-Burmese War and the subsequent Treaty of Yandabo, which resulted in the cession of Burmese territory to the British East India Company and marked the beginning of British colonial rule in Burma.

10. Toast

11. The combined running time of all four series of The A-Team, including ad breaks.

12. Absolutely no idea. 🤷

13. She was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar.

14. 21 minutes past 6.

15. Could be a) or b), but definitely not c) because you can’t possibly fill a bathtub with that much Pick ‘n Mix…

… or, maybe you can? I don’t know.

Anyway, that’s the quiz sorted. You just need to work out the answers to the remaining 3 questions, and you’re all good. 👍

If you fax your answers through to 01 499 1234, you'll be entered into a prize draw to win a luxury teasmade and a year's supply of Angel Delight (flavours subject to availability).

You’re welcome!

PS: June’s winner was apparently Alan from Exeter, who won a caravanning holiday in Great Yarmouth and a box of Finders Crispy Pancakes. So, it’s worth a go!

PPS: The Milkybars are on me!
