麻豆约拍

(2/12)
Tom Sutcliffe puts more cryptic brain-teasers to the regular panellists in the second contest of the 2012 series, this week featuring the teams from Northern Ireland and Scotland. The Northern Ireland team consists of the writer Polly Devlin and the historian Brian Feeney, while the journalist Alan Taylor and the writer and critic Michael Alexander compete for Scotland.

Among the puzzles they'll have to unravel this week is: Why might the following be said to be on the increase in America - an abattoir, a logical paradox, an auction item and a point of combustion?

Tom will also be providing the answer to the question left unanswered at the end of last week's programme, and, as always, there's a chance for you to suggest your own question ideas with which to baffle the panel.

Producer: Paul Bajoria.
