MORE OR LESS UNCHANGING RUBRIC: welcome for the yada yada year running to the LJ wing of a quiz** sat by by some lucky schoolkids*** somewhere and etc blah blah: viz 18 themed sets of 10 questions each -- a new one every (more or less) day!!

*= latin for: "real actual knowledge is knowin how to google**** stuff" <-- THIS JOKE NEVER GETS OLD
**as published every year in the guardian just before xmas (answers some time in the new year)
***all the boys of king williams school on the isle of man sit it sight unseen then take the paper home during holidays and look stuff up to increase their score and retake it (or this used to happen in the Olden Days, for all I know Ofsted now requires they have to bellow GOVE IS GREAT in unison and then recite whole eps of the Moral Maze from memory)
****the setters used to claim they've checked nothing is INSTANTLY googleable, tho this claim seems quite porous...

wiki-illiam q1 -- in the year 1913 -- under the cut )

This is much easier these days than it used to be pre-internet! A couple of questions have pleasing variant answers, so I've included both.

9/10 so far, well done us! )
