"Last week in the comments, someone dared raise the ancient philosophical conundrum: when we say the first line of a play, do we mean the first words spoken by a character, or do the stage directions count? The Thursday quiz condemns such quibbling, hair splitting and dramaturgical pedantry unless of course it's the quiz making a fuss. Still, the show must go on regardless, so limber up for another 15 questions of topical nonsense and dubious though entirely correct general knowledge."
"Let us know how you get on in the comments. Allons-y! The Thursday news quiz, No 224 If you really do think there has been an egregious error in one of the questions or answers and can show your working and are absolutely 100% positive you aren't attempting to factcheck a joke you can complain about it in the comments below. Why not watch Mangetout by Wet Leg instead? Mangetout by Wet Leg"
A comment raised whether the first line of a play includes stage directions or only the first words spoken by a character. The quiz rejects quibbling, hair-splitting and dramaturgical pedantry, though it allows playful fuss when the quiz itself intervenes. Fifteen questions of topical nonsense and dubious but correct general knowledge await participants. Readers are invited to report results in the comments and to complain if they can demonstrate an egregious error with clear working, provided they are not attempting to factcheck a joke. The quiz also suggests watching Mangetout by Wet Leg.
