University Challenge

That's the thing. A lot depends on the balance of the questions. I usually do well in the music round if Jezza snarls "A piece of popular music".


Now and again they have a group of questions that are in your area of knowledge and you can get three off the belt. The real buzz is getting one right that none of the contestants on the programme get. That's a rarity but a great feeling!!
 


I judge myself on getting ten right per programme. Its about 50/50 most of the time. Too many questions on classical music and art which are not my bag. I tend to do well on science, sport, geography and history though.
The art bit is easy if it's a portrait guess Caravaggio and if it's a landscape guess Canaletto. Works for a fair chunk of the time.
