Batteries, beer and bones

27 April 2023

Bit of a toughie this week it would seem, especially the Hitchhiking round,  with top scores of 28, 28 and 27 giving rise to a highly charged tie-break: what is the world record for the most AA batteries held in one hand?*

The beer round required identifying bones as shown on a classic 1931 drawing of a skeleton.  Congrats to the Archaeology student who scored full marks and could tell the difference between the tarsus and tragus. Next time I break a bone I’m giving A&E a miss and heading straight to the University’s Archaeology department.

All the best

*The record is 48 AA batteries.
