Grapefruit spoons are a bit of a retro phenomenon to be fair, as is having half a grapefruit for breakfast I suppose. I certainly don't own one, and have got by fine without it. If this was commercial radio, I'd now start a phone-in to find the youngest listener who has bought/regularly uses a grapefruit spoon.
18/20 on R3 is remarkably impressive stuff - that's not an easy round at all!
3. 8.5 (not sure if half points are allowed though…)
4. 12
5. 3
Nice idea for round 4 (though there’s SO MANY other great Finnish rock and metal bands to ask questions about; more metal bands per capita than any other country in the world apparently)
Excellent work Tom! I was conscious that I'd gone for the most route-one option out of the countless Finnish rock bands (or possibly the second most after Lordi), for which I can only apologise. Just hold tight until I write an all-metal R3, which I'm sure I'll get round to one day.
R2 - 15 (slightly disappointing because we think film is our best subject)
R3 - 9
R4 - 9
R5 - 1 (Anna Meares, hit the post by picking the wrong one of Merry and Pippin from LoTR)
Total - 54
It's a pleasure to have this quiz back after a couple of week break. Found it pretty tough this week but there were also quite a few things that I couldn't quite bring to mind or which I knew I had known once but couldn't remember.
4 (sintering, Nina Ricci, Anna Meares, Dominic Monaghan)
72 - with geography I find that I am very interested in the world but not very interested in the way quiz tends to ask about it. Lovely Qs, I’m off to listen to Murder Most Foul for the first time in years.
1. 20 (hope I'm not the only one who has never seen or heard of a grapefruit spoon, I would have been nowhere without the word pink)
2. 11
3. 18 (missed Meghalaya and Thuringia)
4. 9
5. 2 (Fada, Takenoko)

No it’s all good, I didn’t know the “millennial whoop” had a name, so nice to learn something
