Lunchtime Bonus Question

12:05 UK time, Wednesday, 15 August 2007

The third in our series of one-off never-to-be-repeated revivals of the old unfavourite, the Lunchtime Bonus Question, in which we give you an answer and you try to be funny by suggesting what the question might have been.

In homage to that oft-forgotten hero of the flower power movement, Wavy Gravy: "What we have in mind is a Lunchtime Bonus Question for 400,000 people"*.

Wavy, of course, was the bewhiskered MC 鈥� if such an official designation ever really existed amid all the chaos - of the original Woodstock festival, the start of which marks its anniversary today, 15 August. On that day, 38 years ago, things looked pretty damn fine for the flower children who had gathered on Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York for what promised to be "three days of peace and music".

It's hard now, in an era when outdoor music festivals are about as ubiquitous as sponsored beer tents, to imagine just how "out there" Woodstock was when it was dreamed up. But the organisers 鈥� if such an official designation ever really existed 鈥� clearly thought there was little more to it than earmarking a field, inviting a bunch of bands to play and stashing a few hay bales here and there in the name of crowd control. The kids would find their own way. And they did, in numbers that hadn't been anticipated even in the wildest acid-induced visions of your average card-carrying counter-culturalist.

Then the rain came, the fence collapsed, the area was declared a disaster zone, the National Guard were called on to help and Joni Mitchell couldn't land her helicopter.

Wavy's actual vision was "breakfast in bed for 400,000 people". Still, Woodstock's legacy lives on and it's in tribute to it that today's LBQ is offered.

So if the answer is SPOTTERS' LEAGUE TABLE, what is the question? Clicking on the comments button below will reward you with some of the wrongest of wrong answers.
