Mastermind

[Ming the Merciless]

Strongest first then that gives you more time to study your weaker choices.

Nearest analogy I have is to do with photographic compettions my old camera club got involved with.

It was a knockout competition using 13 images from each club. 4 used in each of the three rounds with clubs knocked out at each stage until the last two go head to head with their last image.

We got it wrong in our first year and went out in round one. The final two images were both week.

No point in keeping back your strongest hand if you never get a chance to play it.

Mine would be Black Adder 2, then 3, then 4.

Your time begins now....

Is The US Office as good as The Office?

Sounds like a cunning plan...

So cunning you can brush your teeth with it.

I could never work out which black or white peg in square formation referred to which coloured peg in the line.
And who was that woman on the box lid?

[QUOTE 5130989, member: 76"]I am going to apply to go on Mastermind and I have to give three specialist subjects. Mine will be, from strongest to weakest, The US office, Black Adder Goes Forth and the work of Irvin D Yalom.

Now should I go strongest first to give me the best chance of getting through, or weakest first to give me a better chance as the competition progresses although I may not get through the first round?[/QUOTE]

That’s supercool.

Just assess how good your Yalom knowledge is, do you think it’s good enough? Have you ever been tested on it?

Seems Blackadder is a popular choice

I don't have an obsessive knowledge of anything except Monty Python. I suppose I could do that?

My problem is usually that I know the answer but can't recall it. Like knowing the unknowns I guess.

Monty Python in Mastermind? No one expects the Spanish Inquisition...
