Q: What building is the setting for the TV series Super Surgeons, a chance of life?

A: Pass!

....damn where do surgeons work? PMSL!

[Cloverjo]

Oh, dear.

I haven't seen this episode yet. I guess the person was very nervous and had brain freeze

[Hopkirk]

Surely everyone knows it's the Royal Marsden.

I didn't know 😧

[Hopkirk]

Oh, was the answer just to be 'a hospital'? The 'what building' is could be ambiguous...it sounds a little specific.

[ToraToraTora]

16:15/16:17 You didn't know a surgeon worked in a hospital? Seriously?

[perseverer]

I'll go even further. Never heard of the programme so would have had no idea of the answer. Or is TTT  just trying to wind up AB again?

[gingejbee]

^@16.21...yep, it's his only reason for watching this show, apparently.

[perseverer]

Perhaps he could visit this particular building and get the Super Surgeons to fix his dodgy bladder.

(Awaiting a witty reply, my old china .)

[ToraToraTora]

16:21 but you know a surgeon works in a hospital right? the TV program is irrelevant it's just a roundabout way of asking where a surgeon works.

[perseverer]

If that was how the question was phrased, it suggests to me they were wanting the name of a specific hospital. What sort of building or similar would suggest the answer was just hospital. 

[ToraToraTora]

they want the obvious even if you had no clue you'd say "hospital". If it was a specific hospital they'd have said "which Hospital....etc"

[newmodarmy]

I'd have thought the question was asking for the name of a specific hospital.

If they were looking for 'hospital' as an answer I think they would have asked 'what type of buiding...'

17:29 "I'd have thought the question was asking for the name of a specific hospital." - read my post at 16:50

[jno]

my thought too, newmodarmy.

[ToraToraTora]

17:31 also see my 16:50 post.

[jno]

none the less, that's three people who didn't understand the question, indicating it might have been more clearly put.

[ToraToraTora]

Of course they did they are just pretending, to make some sort of point. Unless you are illiterate the question is clear as is the answer.

[jourdain2]

The question just says 'What building' - that does imply a sopecific building. I  would have expected that the required answer would be a specific, rather than a type, as well.

So that's quite a few of us would have hesitated.  A poorly phrased  question i.m.o..
