I've just looked at the first round and I know 6 of them - I'll look at the rest on the way to FulhamThis things is always ridiculous. Just did Round 1 and got 3.5 (giving myself a half point for getting a name slightly wrong)
Edit: just looked at the next 2 rounds and don't have a clue

[Misc] Tricky General Knowledge Quiz…
- Thread starter The Clamp
- Start date
Reading a bit about it earlier, I think the actual point behind the school setting it is to encourage pupils to research the answers over Christmas. Which in principle is actually quite a good idea to broaden people's knowledge.
I'm less keen on the way the questions are deliberately phrased in such a way as to make it difficult to Google the answers, because that seems to push it towards willfully abstruse cryptic crossword territory.

1,4,5,6,8 & 9 for me.
Although 9 was an educated guess as I remember seeing a statue of a surgical pioneer in W1 and it turned out to be that one.
I looked again and got 7, maybe 8 as I have a good guess at another.
That's my best round though, got 26 in the whole quiz but have a few guesses that may work. There are certainly a couple I could find out easily as I know the books in question..
