P8588: Intellectual games: finding answers to questions you have never heard before in Splash 2014 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2014)
Based on several intellectual games, such as 'Jeopardy!' and 'What? Where? When?', this course will involve students solving tricky questions and trivia quizzes with the help of their knowledge, intuition, logic and imagination. You will discover that you can come up with an answer in one minute or less, even if you know nothing about the topic of the question. Before reading further, here's a sample question for you: Where does the main character in the British movie 'A zed and two noughts' work? Obviously, we don't require you to know the details of each British film by heart, so the answer should be hidden in plain sight. Writing down the title of the film, we get some hint towards the answer. Yes, he works in a zoo. Everyone is welcome to come, the only requirement is the desire to learn something new.
