Thought some might like to know the given answer to the question - Which Charles Dickens novel did he write posthumously?

Answer - Zilch ???? (apparently a joke question and answer

[mallyh]

oh for goodness sake, the hours i spent scrolling through google x

[cashier]

And me - rather pathetic really

[cashier]

Thanks for telling us Bommer-50

[Mamyalynne]

I did sigh when I read my returned sheet this morning, naughty - but never mind, good to be one of the many who got 99/100.

[mallyh]

99/100 well done xx

[Mamyalynne]

I was one of many, but ta.x

[Mexican18]

Not much of a joke! I wonder if anyone put zilch? Is that even a word! Probably invented by an American.

[poodledoo]

I put that to start with, but then got persuaded to change my mind as I didn't think anyone would be so mean as to do that at Christmas!I will be watching question 100 very carefully plus no 99 too by the looks of it, on the next quiz.Once bitten, twice shy!

[bluebell56]

Yes me to. I spent hours on Google and books. I hope he's learnt his lesson!!

[Mamyalynne]

I have to announce I'm a fibber, had a closer look at my marked sheet and I got 97/100 - guessed the brand of Whisky wrong too, pah. :-)

[elliemay1]

I don't get it! Is there even a novel called Zilch?

[Mamyalynne]

Answer to the question - He didn't (couldn't) write anything posthumously - Zilch = Nothing.

[elliemay1]

So the answer might as well have been, 'None'!

[emeritus]

No it had to have the letters CH in

[elliemay1]

Oh, I see now!

Terrible answer to a terrible question, even in jest.
Told the members of our pub quiz team about it and the responses were largely unprintable.
