Many of you will never have heard of this iconic British quiz program for really smart people. No prizes, no money, but second only to Mastermind for prestige!
So why do I mention it? Well Magdalen College Oxford won through to the final this evening. One member of the team is from Seattle, Washington. It would be too much of a coincidence for anyone here to know him, but just incase his name is Hadden-Fonda, his first name might be Karl, but I wasn't paying close attention till he said where he was from.
Incidentally, should you ever be in Oxford and visit Magdalen College, its pronounced Maude-Linn rather than Magdalene as in Mary! Oh how those Magdalen boys laugh when Americans get that wrong!
