King William's College quiz
Pupils at King William's College on the Isle of Man have suffered this fiendish general knowledge quiz for 99 years. The average score is just two. Answers in the new year

on my first browse through, I got six that I'm pretty sure are right . . . mostly in the music section . . . guess I'd be right at home in Lake Wobegon, where all the children are above average . . . :dunce:

1. Well I feel stupid
I got three definitely. A couple other "maybes".

Of course, I have very little knowledge English geography or recent events, so I'm bound to miss a lot of those.


What I want to know is, how in the hell is the average score just TWO?
