Weekly Bonus Question
10:56 UK time, Friday, 13 November 2009
Welcome to the Weekly Bonus Question.
Each week the news quiz 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 SNAKES, SPIDERS AND DEEP WATER. But what's the question?
UPDATE 1631 GMT: The correct question is, what are Katie Price's pet phobias as she prepares to go into the I'm A Celebrity... jungle again?
Of your woefully yet deliberately incorrect questions, we liked:
- HPark's The pessimist's boardgame of choice?
- ShizBob's Just prior to my recent divorce, what clues led me to believe things weren't working out?
- ARoseByAnyOther's Downsides to living in a castle?
- BeckySnow's Marilyn Manson writes his first book for children.
- And SkarloeyLine's Who are the Addams Family's solicitors?
