A Quick Quiz

in The Rail
Just 5 questions today-some easy, some not as easy as you might think. Again, please don't look them up on the internet and post them-will spoil it for others. So:-

1. Which fictional character's name was Hermione Makepeace?
2. What was St Winifred School Choir's first No.1 single?
3. What was the last Non-League team to win the FA Cup?
4. Which is the odd one out and why-Bob the Builder, Peter Andre, Abba, the Teletubbies?
5. What is the next letter in this sequence and why-B; F; J; P...?

Have fun...

    1 Dempsey and Makepeace lassie
    2 Grandad we love you
    3 Royal Engineers
    4 ABBA didn't have a number 1
    5 No clue, which probably is the answer to the other questions.

    Logical, but not the answer I am looking for. Even so, "V" is correct, but there is a better reason.

    Both close, but no cigar.

    In relation to number 5, it is not a classic sequence question. If it were, there would have to be better logic than here. So, for example, spacing of 3,3,3 or 3,4,5 or possibly 33,55,7?

    It is not a spacing question-that is the misdirection. The 5 given are the only correct answers...

    No 4 guess. Is Abba the odd one out? The others were "one hit wonders"?

    Abba is the odd one out. But the others have all done something that Abba have not.

    Very well done.

    2. Correct
    3. Correct-in 1901 they were in the Southern League
    4. Not the answer I am looking for
    5. Correct. If someone says "A,E,I,O...?" It is easy. For some reason, we never say it the way I set the question

    So-Number 4 left. Clue:-the others have all achieved something positive that Abba have never done
