Dibble Oct 2022 7:20am, 30 Oct 2022 956 posts	Quote Pin Dibble As both a runner and a former actuary I was torn about which team i wanted to win last week. What you really need on a quiz team is members who have different strengths. I find myself watching both Mastermind and OC sometimes answering questions the competitors don't get and thinking I would love to give it a go if I could decide afterwards whether it was then shown on TV! But what's the worst that can happen? Why not? I'd look at joining a Fetchie OC team.

Diogenes Oct 2022 7:28am, 30 Oct 2022 73,912 posts	Quote Pin Diogenes Mind you, my pop knowledge of the last 10-20 years is quite patchy. I’m better on the 10-20 years before I was born.
