麻豆约拍

(10/12)
Wales and Northern Ireland face off in the cryptic quiz for the last time this season. A win for either team could put them in a very strong position to take this year's series title. Kirsty Lang asks the questions, with Cariad Lloyd and Myfanwy Alexander playing for Wales, opposite Freya McClements and Paddy Duffy for Northern Ireland.

The questions today are:

Q1 (from Daniel Kitto) Where in the world do the day's end, Augustine's mother, an Ace detective and La Serenissima share a common route?

Q2 Why might bringing together a politician who gets a lot of letters, an overseer of Apprentices, and an Irish footballer and pundit (now retired) create a happy family?

Q3 Music: Where are we?

Q4 Why could a Wicked composer, a unit of frequency and the main constituent of granite find their end with a mining company founded on a Spanish river?

Q5 (from Adrian Perry) What's the masterful connection between a fictional Los Angeles detective, the first racing driver to compete in 300 Grand Prix races, and the pop group best known for introducing friends? And what kind of beard might suit them best?

Q6 (from Simon Meara) Music: Listen to these pieces and explain why none of them is the cause.

Q7 (from Anne Mitchell) Explain how, from a bad beginning, you might: keep the doctor away; cause fever, nausea, vomiting and death; use an incorrect word to humorous effect; succeed a 'dead butcher'; or be awarded the George Cross?

Q8 (from Karl Sabbagh) What might hold together charged particles in a magnetosphere, a group of iron oxides, and a huntsman of legend?
