I'll provide a question whilst we wait for whoever is supposed to be setting one.

Which country has a bunch of bananas in its national flag?

I lived in Rayners Lane for several years...took my daughters to the noisiest double bill ever in the "elephant cinema" as they called it (art deco design on the front based on an elephant's trunk) to see 'Star Wars' followed by 'The Empire Strikes Back'... Emerged deaf...
 
Stephen Fry would probably categorise this as a 'nobody knows' type of question - and the answer 'Mark Twain' would elicit that klaxon-like noise on QI. Mark Twain is generally accepted as having submitted the first typed book for publication - Life on the Mississippi - but it wasn't a novel.

So my answer is - nobody knows.

I am off to hit the hay shortly, so will give a clue. Theo or Yorkie should know and anyone who teaches English might. <whistle>
