King William's College - which was founded in 1833 - is situated at Castletown on the Isle of Man. Once a year they produce the brain-busting General Knowledge Paper (Exam), whose 100 or so questions are astoundingly difficult. Most educated people can find answers to fewer than 10 of the hundred.
It helps to be very familiar with Britain, British history and literature.
The GKP can be downloaded in .pdf format at this link, and the answers will be published, to great excitement, in The Guardian newspaper, on or about the end of January.
So buckle your seatbelts, give it a go, and let us know how you did when the answers come out.
If you can score an 11, you get serious bragging rights. |
