This past weekend at Austenonly they asked this question. It's in reference to the BBC 2 show Mastermind. A woman on the show had her Specialist Subject as the completed works of Jane Austen. She was asked 16 questions that only a specialist on that subject would know.
Austenonly shared a link to the video clip (can only be watched in the UK) and shared the list of questions. Head on over to see how you do. Austenonly - Are you a Jane Austen Mastermind?
Write your answers down? Think you did well?

I am not a specialist in the completed works of Jane Austen. Out of the 16 questions I got 7 correct.

My final tally was 9 out of 16, with a few half-right questions (i.e., I had Kellynch Park instead of Kellynch Hall). How many does one need to get right to be considered a "specialist"? All of them?
ReplyDeleteYou did better than me. I only got 7 correct.
ReplyDeleteMy tally was 14 out of 16 correct; sweeeeet! I only got #4, 6, 8, and 12 wrong; I should have had #6 correct, but I second-guessed myself and didn't write it down. I beat ya both :)
