Theme
- The gist of today’s quiz is that the first question results in you having three five-letter words in the answer.
- One of those words supplies the initial letters for the remaining questions.
- Firstly, discount the initial letter as it has already been used. The remaining four letters supply the initial letters to the answers to the remaining questions but they will not necessarily be in the correct order.
- Once you have answered all the questions you should be able to take the initial letters of the five answers, rearrange and have one of the words from the answer to question one.
