... And the one where all three answers are correct...kinda tough to screw up that one...
According to Politico:
... accusations that von der Leyen’s office circumvented public procurement rules in granting contracts worth millions of euros to (her favored) firms. Those hearings have taken a dramatic turn in recent days as testimony from key witnesses appeared to confirm suspicions of systematic corruption at the ministry."
The BBC Quiz creators were probably intimidated by Leyden's scary power so they chose to make sure she wouldn't be offended by printing any false statements about her.
That's my take and I'm sticking to it.
“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

I don't recall when a pack of crisps (chips in Ameri-speak) cost 2d (two old pence which, depending on the date, was around $0.02 or so). I do recall when the salted ones had the salt in little blue paper twists: you had to find one and untwist it into the bag and then shake to distribute it. Sometimes you'd find several in a bag and my recollection - which is pretty good for the 1950s but not wonderful for yesterday - is that I once found 14 salt twists in one bag. Returning to the quiz:
And all five were guesses. If you can't be good, be lucky.
(PS - for those of you brought up on Enid Blyton's Famous Five Series - and I suspect I might be talking only to Meade - Gob's too young - the Five brought up to date books are a hoot.)
My childhood library consisted of the Bobbsey Twins and, later on, the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. I don't suppose there was a lot of difference, however.
I also enjoyed the young-adult "Wilderness Mystery Series" novels written by Franklin Folsom (under the nom de plume of Troy Nesbit) and distributed by Whitman Publishing back in the day as well. -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
One would think that listening, most mornings, to 20 or 30 minutes of BBC news carried by my local NPR station would have gotten me at least ONE right. Guess I'm not a lucky guesser either.
