This question is from the current Great Brain Quiz. The setter has requested that his questions are neither asked nor answered on this site. Please respect that.

I didn't know about the quizmaster's request but as he is now insisting that some of us answer more questions than we wish too it is a matter of either giving up doing the quiz or finding the other answers anywhere I can and at the moment I have decided on the latter course of action.

So I would still be grateful if anyone could give me a clue as to how to find this answer. .

I take it that you mean you are having to do 80 questions instead of 50 for the next 3 quizzes under the rules of the quiz. That obviously means that you have been somewhat successful in the majority of the previous six quizzes. Other folk will have now have a chance of a prize.

Other folk have always had the opportunity to win if they tried hard enough.
It would appear that the quizmaster is aiming his quiz at the people who expend the least amount of thought and time on obtaining their answers.
I have never had the time or the inclination to attempt all the quiz but I am being penalised for being successful.
I believe that it won't be long before this quiz finishes altogether as it should either be a quiz where you have to answer all the questions or one where you have the choice between answering all or part of the quiz.
