Our questionnaires reveal that your results are important. They help us identify what kind of people we are. Thousands of pubs hold their own quiz nights every week. Few other occasions bring the generations of people together in the same way. And on television, they can have a huge effect. Britain had its own scandal in 2001 when contestant, the Coughing Major, was accused of cheating on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? With the help of accomplices, we were able to get home. However, perhaps the biggest controversy of the University Challenge has been turned into a festival of political correctness, with some of whose answers being more or less impossible to answer, and many more (I suspect) being answered because so many teams now prepare for them.
