) it struck me that we don’t test each other’s MIB knowledge enough.I recall on the ferry back from Ghent two or three of us were probing Pigeon’s knowledge and very well he did too so I thought we should start an ongoing Stranglers Mastermind with one question at a time to get the grey(o) matter working. As I thought it up I will set the rules. And there are only two…
1) You have to answer from the top of your head only as if you were on Mastermind. - NO looking it up on the net, no delving into this site or dipping into your record collection. No cheating!

(and no, you don’t talk about Fight Club…)
So……the game is that a question is set and the first person to get it right then sets the next one. And so on forever more (or, if I am very unlucky, for one page of this only as everyone else thinks it is a crap idea).
Don't forget once the question is correctly answered (i.e. don’t start setting questions when you have just guessed) then that person has the responsibility to ask the next question and so on and so on.
I would suggest the questions are sufficiently tough to make you think for a while, go off make a cup of tea and still be thinking but not ridiculous (i.e how many times does Hugh say the word The on 1974 demos for instance). Think Mastermind level…tough but not impossible.
OK, as the originator of this duff/inspiring idea (delete as necessary I wills set the first Stranglers Mastermind question

And the answer is….
