I've seen this before, its that famous psychopath test.

She killed her in the hope that the man she met would come to the funeral again. Apparently loads of murderers got it right, which is quite something!

You didn't say whether you got it right the first time.

But it matters not. Over to you Mr B

I didn't get it right, no. I saw it on a C4 program about psychological testting like the Milgram experiment etc.

Im actually working (shock!) at the moment, so someone else can set a q, i don't have the time to sniff around.

Alright. I've got a harder one for you...

If England were included in the statistics, it would be the 4th most densely populated country in the world.

My question is: What is the most densely populated country in the world, and what is the least ??

I think Monaco and the Vatican are the most densely populated principalities, but i dont think either of those count as countries.

A small island somewhere?

Well done MattB... Monaco does count in my book as it is the right answer, with Macau, then Hong Kong.

And Greenland is also correct at the other end, so bravo.

Over to you, unless you cannae be arsed, in which case anyone can help themselves.

Ok, a quickie. Shane Warne has 2958 of these in 140, a record.
He's missing something though, which causes this to be a record.

What is it?

must be something to do with a dismissal he has not had.
even i have a test wicket c, b, lbw, run out and stumped
so maybe noone had ever hit their wicket?

anywhere near?

could it be some sort of crafty Q in that he doesn't wear the 'green baggie' and always has a sunhat, so he doesn't officially have a test cap.

no? thought not, don't mind me.

Nope, wrong again.

Given that I don't understand either of UP's answers, I'm going to guess...

He's scored all those runs in that many tests, but he's never scored a 6?

Not a bad guess. First part about runs in tests is right, second bit is wrong. Nearly there!
