  1. Excellent, you really pushed us with that one, Rol, even tougher than Only Connect.
    I love how Bowie + Springsteen = Styles. Hmm, is there something we don't know? (Just forgetting biology for a moment)

    1. It's weird, C, I never know how tough they're going to be. In my head, that was quite any easy one. Other times, when I think they'll test you, every answer is gone by 9am.
