However many questions you’re asked, only four answers will matter.
One you somehow retrieve from the very back of the darkest, least-visited cupboard in your brain. You’ll be particularly proud of this one, grin thinking about it on the walk home.
One your friend dissuades you from giving which, it transpires, is right. A wrong one you’re sure about which they cannot talk you out of. Always one of each.
One you don’t know and suddenly remember, seconds before it’s read out.
Figuring out the correct answer when it’s far too late; would that it only happened in pub quizzes.

Indeed....I like the topic of Answers. Do you have the topic on Questions? Those that love pub trivia should really like this post
The iphone: death of the humble pub quiz? Or perhaps the introduction of mandatory drink consumption so your fingers are suddenly too big and clumsy to ask google anything. VG.
I feel this about witty responses, more than answers.
But I agree - the only four that matter, especially to others...
You're right...again, and in only 100 words.
I'm going to have to go with opening a book, random finger on word. No one gives me suggestions. Well, I don't have 1073 followers.
In fairness Moannie, I do ask quite regularly. Plus people can get my email address from my profile. And I'm on Twitter too. Anyway, I don't get as many suggestions as you might think; nowhere near as many people read my blog as that 1000-odd followers might suggest. I think they all signed up, read it once and then never came back!
When you do your next 100 Word post, I promise I will put in a request. And you should add an email address too.
This is very true. You managed express a subtlety that we experience but don't put words to.
Never happens in pub quizzes. Always know the answer. It's when I leave I'm stuck.
answer why your painfully boring?
Anonymous - It's just a hunch but given your standard of written English I can see why my blog just wouldn't be your sort of thing.
