*racks brain*. That would make it either South Georgia or St Helena...?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 3:04 pm

St. Helena is the next closest island.
South Georiga is uninhabited.

Keep trying!

Named after someone... can't be Easter Island then (although they do claim to be the most remote).

Edit: Have just cracked and looked it up. I would never have got it! But I maintain my claim for being closest so far...

Do you know, it's not even on Google maps?

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 3:39 pm

Yes. It really is that small!

Despite only having 300 inhabitants, it has 2 churches, a pub, a post office, a hospital and a town hall.

If nobody gets the answer before half five, I'll tell you it.

i've cheated now too

ops:
interesting stuff

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 4:11 pm

Right. I'm just going to give you it.

It was Tristan Da Cunha, which is named after Tristan D'a Cunha.

I'll pass the question over to darcle, just to prove that cheats sometimes do prosper.

Ok thank you Cardinal.

Well as that was such a difficult question and its a friday afternoon ill set an easy question.

What is the average student debt when leaving university now reported to be?

Istenem · Post by **Istenem** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 4:32 pm

i had about £50k but i was profligate and idle

if it is an official figure it will have been spun by tony's croneys so i'll guess at a modest £15k

darcle · Post by **darcle** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 4:35 pm

Wow £50k is alot of money!!

15K is close but incorrect.

Cardinal Sin · Post by **Cardinal Sin** » Fri Jul 14, 2006 4:39 pm

I'll guess £21,000
