Not sure those of you who are not UK based will know what Mastermind is...I'll assume you do as I'm sure these things are global.

I was thinking about whether or not I would do well if I entered it based on my specialist subject being THe Rolling Stones 1969 -79.

Have any IORR ers ever entered and if so what period did they opt for. I'd be interested to know what anyone else's Stones related specialist subject or era would be. I'm sure there are many on here who would do really well.

Mastermind regarding the Stones? I would say [www.timeisonourside.com] , [www.nzentgraf.de] as well as the posts on [www.iorr.org] .....

Brilliant...but weird how people go on with their specialist subject and then appear not to know the answers to quite easy questions.

Mastermind, October 3 2014.

I thought these were particularly easy and got them all correct - unlike our contestant!





He did win the heat after the general knowledge round, though.

Keats was actually an understandable mistake, since the poem was about Keats but by Shelley, but still--aarrgghh!

I meant it was so close. Not like "Emily Dickenson," or something

Oh, I see what you mean. Yes, double-aarrgghh in that case!

Wonder where crumblingmice is? This was his thread - I usually like his posts.

Is the contestant that won the last episode of MasterMind a member of IORR?
