That's right Pete.

 

Next question:

 

Which of these is an anagram of a day of the week?
     DUSTY TEA         WEEDY DAWN      SHADY RUT
 

 

I know some of these are too easy, but you might be surprised how many contestants get them wrong.

Twenty five of the 100 contestants in the latest episode of the UK version got this one wrong, and it was the simplest of the lot, the first question of the episode:

 

Which word below has the most vowels?

    Vowel        Consonant    Letter.

SHADY RUT (Thursday) and Consonant.  Yes less than 30 seconds (including the previous answer - I edited it because I originally said "A doesn't appear til THOUSAND" but then thought that in Australian English we say "One hundred AND one" (as opposed to US who drop the "and").  But the answer was always 0.

Lee Mack's joke while people were thinking about the anagram question was, "Anagram is an anagram of anagram if you swap the A's around."

 

Right on both counts, Marty. I'm late responding because I was at the Men's Shed and the NBN was out, so no internet.

 

Next question:

 

Mo plays rock paper scissors against Lesley.
Mo does rock, then paper, then scissors
Lesley does paper, then scissors, then rock
What is the final score?
1-1 Draw         2-1 to Mo         3-0 to Lesley

A bat and ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

Good guess, that's correct. 

 

Most of the questions were pretty easy this week, some too easy to bother about. I can't copy the graphics ones.

 

Next:

If planet Earth has a Heart, what body part does Mars have?
