Ah. It was something ridiculous like Perseverance, or Renegade or Diplidocus or something.

I'll think about it...

In fact, it's not perseverance, it's Endeavour!

Endeavour is correct ?

Good luck with your endeavours.

People born sinistral, i.e. left-handed, find it hard to use everyday items, such as scissors and sports equipment - not to mention writing.

But what common task is easier for left-handed people?

We all do it every day.

You can use either hand to do it, or both - but it is easier for lefties, even if they don't realise it!

too bloody right we did!

the answer is typing - if you look at the keyboard, most of the common English letters are on the left-side.

Nice easy one (if you saw QI recently)

What creature (with the exception of human) contributes the most methane to our atmosphere?

Wont be on until half 12 tomorrow so if there's general consensus before then feel free to skip ahead!

Didn't see the episode, but surely cows' farts contribute quite a lot to global warming?

Harry gets it.


And yeah, cue alarm bells etc etc.

Cows do produce a lot of methane but if mr Fry is to be believed, cows cannot fart. They burp methane, but still nowhere near that produced by termites.
