The King William's College quiz
is devised for the intellectual torture of the school's pupils, and this is your chance to suffer with them.
-
Strikes me as more trivia than intellectual, in that it's a memory quiz not a problem solving one. I'm only saying this because I've no idea who those people, places are. heh
-
Brit-centric, too. Don't know any answers but I caught a few clear cricket and rugby cultural references in there.
-
I suppose if I read all that crap it would be simple. I'd like to see how these dudes would hang with the Putnam exam.
-
'Brit-centric, too.' that's because King William College is in Britain ... on the Isle of Man to be precise ...
-
I propose the banning of anything Brit-centric. Those damn Brits and their British ways...
-
Also, I'm pretty shit at this. It'd be interesting to know what sort of scores the school kids get.
-
Quiz is not entirely Brit-centric: the answer to one question is a well-known American abolishionist. But I suppose it might as well be, since few Americans these days seem aware of their own history.

Was the abolitionist female? HIS-story. Eh? Eh? I've got a million more of 'em.
