Melksham Quiz

[vicmarion]

I know we have a long way to go and I am working my way through this quiz. Just a bit of help please Section 10 question 2. What was the first and last question in Mastermind with Magnus Magnusson and what was the question, I have got as far as knowing it had something to do with Picasso's Guernica, I do know the subject of the painting, was this the question?

Like you I'm doing this one and try and do a few each day! I've put:
Q When did Picasso paint Guernica?
A 1937

Thank you very much for that, did you actually find the question?
This has been asked before, I have done all the anagrams of Sports Stars in section 7 except one, somebody suggested that there might be a mistake and suggested there was one N too many but when I tried that I got Michael Palin and he is (was) not a sports star. If you have got it dont tell me but just say there is no error and I will keep on trying.

Hi vicmarion, sorry for not replying sooner.
I actually found a site that gave the actual question. If you put "mastermind - when did picasso paint guernica" in google you will find the Telegraph obituary for Magnus Magnusson.
I think it was me that originally asked the question about the sports anagram - I tried ringing the compiler but there was no reply so I'm still no further on.

Thanks for your reply, I have had a busy day just got back from a funeral so hadn't picked up your message. The only thing I wondered about the Picasso question was why did the compiler leave so much space for an answer if all they wanted was a year!!!
Many thanks again. Im off for a week in Shropshire on Sunday so I am going to forget quizzes for a while.

Hello vicmarion, the first and last question on Mastermind with Magnus were the same. The compiler is wanting both the question and the answer to that question.
Hope that makes it a bit clearer and have a lovely week in Shropshire.
