Christmas Quiz 2015

The last Quiz of the year is, as usual, the Christmas Quiz. This year it takes place on Wednesday 23 December.  And don't worry, it's not all about the Bible.

Le dernier Quiz de l'année est, comme d’habitude, le Quiz de Noël.  Cette année c'est le mercredi 23 décembre.  Et ne vous en faites pas, ce n'est pas tout sur la Bible.

Logical sequence (Quiz of 25 Nov 2015)

This question proved difficult and very few teams got the answer last night.
Cette question s'est avérée difficile et peu d'équipes ont trouvé la bonne réponse hier soir.

What number comes next in the sequence:
13, 17, 31, 37, 71, 73, 79, 97 …?

Quelle est la suite de cette séquence :
13, 17, 31, 37, 71, 73, 79, 97 … ?

(Hint: I didn't ask where the sequence could have started.)
(Indice: Je ne demande pas où la séquence aurait pu commencer.)

Summer 2015

Mr Quiz is taking his annual break from mid-July to mid-August this year. But as usual, the show goes on!

For the next few weeks the Quiz at the Green Linnet will be hosted by Garry, assisted by various guest presenters.

Mr Quiz is still writing the questions, so the style will remain the same. Be prepared for some  USA-inspired questions:

Erratum - Quiz 4 March 2015

In last night's Quiz I had to cancel a question due to a typo in the transcript. In the heat of the moment I couldn't find the mistake and correct it.

So, here is the question as it should have been:
If x/x – x/2 + x/4 = x/12

what is the value of x?
