I may be missing something here but in the OP an obscure question AND answer was asked for.

To that end, how does jeffa get Best Answer when no answer to his question was supplied? I'm asking because without that info I'm wondering how you incorporated it into your quiz.......!?

[Mamyalynne]

It was given in a roundabout way by Murraymints,but Granny grump has misunderstood.

Osvaldo Ardiles

I presume that is why she left it to domore research.

[ChillDoubt]

Ah, thanks for clearing that up Mamya.

[jeffa]

It was a question whose answer could have been found in seconds, ChillDoubt:

This is not advanced Googling for someone who writes quizzes!

[ChillDoubt]

I daresay it could jeffa, I was just expecting posters to follow the OP brief!

In the end I went with the question:
