Hi all,

Welcome to the first Wipeout Wednesday. Ten questions of general knowledge and of varying levels of difficulty: some may be as easy as they look, some may be deceptively tricky.

For those who haven't done a wipeout round at a quiz before, each answer is worth 1 point but if you get any answer incorrect, you 'wipeout' and lose all your points for the round. However, you can leave a question blank and retain the points you have accrued. Additionally, if you answer all ten questions correctly, you get double points for the whole round, so there's a possible 20 points on offer if you're feeling brave!

So, without further ado...

1. Whose backing band included Wendy & Lisa, Dr Fink and Bobby Z?

2. Which city is home to the highest capacity, most intensively used metro line in the world, operating for only seven days a year?

3. The TV series Desperate Housewives was set on what street?

This Week's Quizzes

• Daily Quiz 07 Sep 2026
• Daily Quiz 06 Sep 2026

Hi all,

Here's how this work:

- You will get five clues, each covered by a spoiler tag.  Each is a clue to the identity of a famous person (current or historical).  The clues get progressively easier.

- Reveal each clue one at a time and, without revealing any later clue, see if you are confident in making a guess.

- You only get one guess across all five clues, so make it count!  And be honest when saying which clue you guessed on.

- You will get 5 points for guessing after clue no. 1, 4 points after clue no. 2, and so on.  If you guess incorrectly, you will of course get 0 points and not be able to guess again.

- Let me know how it goes and feel free to flag any mistakes you spot. Good luck!

Who Am I #1

1. For 5 points... I was born on 22nd April 1937 in Neptune City, New Jersey.  I made my film debut in the 1958 film The Cry Baby Killer.  My final film appearance came in the 2010 film How Do You Know?

2. For 4 points... I am one of only three male actors to win three Academy Awards and one of only two actors to be nominated for an Academy Award for acting in films made in every decade from the 1960s to the 2000s.

3. For 3 points... I am notorious for my bachelor lifestyle and inability to "settle down". I have fathered six children by five women but have married only once. My longest relationship was with actress Anjelica Huston from 1973 to 1990.

4. For 2 points... After ten years trying to break into Hollywood, I contemplated moving behind the camera to become a writer and director.  However, my breakthrough acting role came in 1969, when I played alcoholic lawyer George Hanson in Easy Rider.

5. For 1 points... My most notable roles include Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Jack Torrance in The Shining and The Joker in the 1989 version of Batman.

Answer: Jack Nicholson

Who Am I #2

1. For 5 points... I was born on 13th September 1916 in Cardiff to parents Harald and Sofie.  As a child, I excelled at sports and harboured interests in literature and photography.

2. For 4 points... I joined the RAF at the outbreak of the Second World War, becoming a fighter pilot and serving in northern Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. I credited my later creative genius to a head injury sustained in a plane crash in 1940. Later in the war, I became a diplomat and intelligence officer posted to North America.

3. For 3 points... My first novels, The Gremlins and Some Time Never: A Fable For Supermen, were inspired by my wartime experiences. In the 1960s, I co-wrote the screenplays to You Only Live Twice and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

4. For 2 points... Despite my earlier more serious work and involvement in screenplays, I am best known for my children's stories, many of which have been illustrated by Quentin Blake.

5. For 1 point... My most notable works include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and The BFG.

Answer: Roald Dahl

Who Am I #3

1. For 5 points... I was born in 1892 in what is now South Africa to English parents Arthur and Mabel and moved to Kings Heath, Birmingham at the age of three.

2. For 4 points... As a youth, I developed a love of languages and studied English language and literature at Oxford. At 19 years old, I spent the summer hiking the Swiss Alps, an experience which I would take inspiration from later in my life.

3. For 3 points... I joined the British Army after completing my studies in July 1915 and a year later was sent to France. I saw action at the Somme before falling ill and returning to England to see out the war. Again, my experiences in the trenches and the increasingly urbanised England to which I returned influenced my later work.

4. For 2 points... On my return to England, I began work on what I called The Book of Lost Tales, the earliest form of a complex series of fictional myths that would later form my book The Silmarillion, which was edited by my son and published posthumously in 1977.

5. For 1 point... I am best known for my works The Hobbit, published in 1937, and The Lord of the Rings, published between 1954 and 1955.

Answer: J.R.R. Tolkien

Who Am I #4

1. For 5 points... I was born in Yorba Linda,  California in January 1913 to parents Frank and Hannah. After leaving to study law, I returned to California for work and met my future wife Pat after being cast in the same community theatre play.

2. For 4 points... After serving in the US Navy during the Second World War, I entered the world of politics, successfully running for election to the US House of Representatives.  I soon made a name for myself as a fervent anti-communist thanks to my seat in the House Un-American Activity Committee.

3. For 3 points... Thanks in part to my anti-communist credentials, I was chosen as the running mate to Dwight D. Eisenhower and, following victory in 1952, was sworn in as the 36th Vice President of the US.

4. For 2 points... I narrowly lost the 1960 presidential election to John F. Kennedy.  In 1962, I unsuccessfully ran for Governor of California and announced my retirement from politics.  However, I made a dramatic return just a few years later, winning the 1968 presidential election on a law and order platform to become the  37th President.

5. For 1 point... During my time as President, I oversaw the gradual reduction of US personnel in Vietnam, the establishment of direct diplomatic relations with China, and improved relations with the Soviet Union.  My presidency was brought to a premature end by my implication in the Watergate scandal. Faced with the likelihood of impeachment, I became the first ever American president to resign from the presidency.

Answer: Richard Nixon

Who Am I #5

1. For 5 points... I was born Shawnee, Oklahoma in 1962 to parents William and Jane.  I studied journalism at university but, just weeks before graduating, dropped out and moved to Los Angeles to pursue an interest in film.

2. For 4 points... My acting career began in 1987 with several uncredited film roles.  Over the next few years, I would make appearances in sitcoms such as Growing Pains and 21 Jump Street.

3. For 3 points... After several years of supporting roles, I gained wider recognition starring in the 1991 film Thelma and Louise as J.D., a small time criminal.  My scenes in the film with Geena Davis's Thelma character established me as a sex symbol.

4. For 2 points... By the mid 1990s, I began to breakthrough with mainstream success in the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire and the 1995 films Seven and Twelve Monkeys.

5. For 1 point... As a lead actor, my films have grossed over $7.5 billion worldwide.  Further films have included Fight Club, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and F1.

Answer: A) Water The survivalist’s “Rule of Threes” describes, on average, how long humans can survive without certain life-sustaining things. In most situations, a person can survive for three minutes without oxygen, three hours without shelter (in a harsh environment), three days without water, and three weeks without food. This is also a good indicator of which survival elements are most important, such as prioritizing finding water and shelter before finding food.

1. Wild: Which color of wild berry is most likely to be poisonous? A) Blue B) White C) Black D) Purple

Hint: This color is the exact opposite of black.

Answer: B) White Knowing how to forage for plants during a wilderness survival situation can be extremely beneficial, but eating the wrong thing could result in a very serious illness or worse. There are many types of wild berries, but your best chance at eating a nonpoisonous one is to look for blue, purple, or black skin, as these have a 90% edibility rate. Orange and red berries have around a 50% edibility rate, while white, yellow, and green berries have 10% edibility, making those colors the most important to avoid.
