Has anyone ever asked a question that the estimable Quizmonster has not been able to answer?

[darth vader]

If it's to do with english language or phrases and sayings you can forget it, he is the Guru Josh and i've never known him not be able to answer the question.....

[Quizmonster]

Dear OnlyMe..."all too frequently" is the answer. Believe me, you could fill hangars with stuff I don't know! It's nice of you, though, to imagine otherwise.

Hello, Darth! We must have been typing simultaneously. Thank you, too. Cheers

Hi OnlyMe. I'd say he was inestimable... but then he did answer one of my serious questions:-)

[treaclefight]

lol, ive thought that lots, the only way to beat him is to get all monty python about it and ask him 'what's my favourite colour', scary isn't he :-)

I'm another fan of the impressive Mr Quizmonster. He has, however, disappointed me in failing to answer the question posed on 11th April 2003 which is taking him just toooooo long. The question is 'who designed the outfits for the Lithuania team at the 1992 Olympic Games'.

[OnlyMe]

Oh well, mikewall, if you still don't know the answer to that, well, blimey, I mean everyone knows that! Where have you been?

[Quizmonster]

Hello, Mike. As I suspected when I read the Lithuanian question you referred to, a check there revealed that it appeared in the 'Sport' category. That - along with another 11 of the 17 categories here - is a section that I never, ever visit. Had I known about it, I would, of course, have answered it with ease.

Only joking! For me, sport-knowledge is but one of a multitude of areas that, in itself, would fill one of the "ignorance-hangars" I spoke of earlier. (I've no idea which horse won this year's Grand National...I haven't a clue who played in the Cup Final...and so on.) Actually, there is an answer to that question there now, if you care to go and have a look.

Finally, your own answers are invariably excellent and generally expressed more succinctly than mine ever are. (Getting garrulous in my old age, I guess.) Cheers

Thank you QM. Like you, as I seem to remember you saying recently, I have too much time to spare and too little to do.
