The King William’s College Quiz

If you would like to match wits with the students of King William’s College, take a glance at one of the year-end quizzes (which the Guardian calls “the toughest quiz on the planet”).

Here are some of the questions (with the answers in parentheses):

· “how did we learn about solitary feline ambulation?” (the Just So Stories of Rudyard Kipling)
· who lost “both legs, but returned heroically and was downed at Béthune?” (Douglas Bader)
· “where, in Europe, is the Zahringen?” (Berne)

I’ve never heard of Bethune, Douglas Bader, or the Zahringen, and that’s the way it was with most of the questions. After a while I just felt inadequate, so I stopped.
