THE CHASE QUESTION 1

'Okay, New Dad,' Wilson repeated, 'To go through with seven thousand pounds, which of these books did William Golding famously write?

'A: Lord Of The Ants,
'B: Lord Of The Flies, or
'C: Lord Of The Spiders?'


After a few moments he said urgently, 'Need an answer!' and in my panic, in spite of knowing the correct answer, I shouted, 'C!'


'You've chosen "C" — Gotta be, innit? All day long! Do you know this, or was it a guess? 


I shook my head.


'Let's see. Is William Golding famous for writing "Lord Of The Spiders"? — NO! The correct answer is "B". Elementary error there, New Dad: "C" is almost always the joke answer.'


Actually though, that wasn't such a bad question for The Chase — perhaps Wilson is on to something here...

Wilson will pose another question on Wednesday...
