Oops! I was half-joking, (but I know someone who visited one of the research stations at the south pole- and he said it was full of boffins and penguins - and you need a high IQ to survive - as a boffin or penguin).
Anyway - I'll think up a question by tomorrow morning.

You're right - about the boffins anyway. I'm not sure about the penguins though...

Sometimes I'm not so sure about scientists either - being experts in their fields doesn't always mean having a high IQ in my experience. Said he from the bottom rung of the IQ ladder. <laugh>
 
Fair point - the friend I know who visited the Antarctic has written 2 books. In one of them he describes how he 'cheated' his way into Mensa - supposedly impossible !
Anyway, I hope this is a reasonable question.

I do believe that's Holland - I used the same question in a Xmas quiz for my class only four weeks ago. :)

All yours BB. Santa Claus (or rather Sinterklaas) is not the same as Santa - they are 2 different people. According to Dutch tradition he arrives by steam boat at a different harbour each year on Dec. 5th and always departs from Rotterdam. Over to you.
 
Dead mans hand (poker). I think it's 2 pairs (8's and aces) which WBH was holding when he was murdered. Allegedly.
 
You lot are all far too clever! I didn't intend to mislead with 4 *. sorry. anyway, yes it's Indian and yes it's about Chess. So I think BB has answered it - sorry cologne.
