Topic: The JAM Exam

Message 1 / 3
nylon netJul 23, 2011
 

 

Hi folks. I just thought that serious students of any topic need an intellectual challenge as well as a way to earn bragging rights.  And students of JAM are no different.  What we need is an accredited course of JAM study or at least a final exam to test the mettle of a candidate.

So, dear list member, when you're not in parliament, or delivering sentence in the Supreme Court, or chewing your toenails, you could start compiling challenging JAM questions to test our knowledge of that last 44 years of JAM.

If nothing else, it could be a treasure hunt for odd JAM delights.

Here's a start.

Q1. In which episode was the topic on the card first allowed to be repeated more than once?

Q2. According to Paul, what mammal was found hopelessly lost on a double-decker London bus?

Q3a. Who, when given the topic of "Parasites" said: "There is a huge family of parasites, so big it requires many palaces and castles to accommodate all of them."? Coincidentally (or not), it was this player's last appearance on JAM.

Q3b. Who on the panel objected to this statement?

Q4. Whom, when informed of her death at the age of 26, did Kenneth Williams call "Poor bitch"?

Q5. To which island did Kenneth Williams say he was being taken in his last ever round of JAM?

Q6. Why is there debate over which was Paul Merton's first JAM episode?

I got an idea! What if we made a trivia like this and gathered a bunch of good questions, created a webpage ("the JAM exam"?) where a certain amount of random selected questions were picked with each their 5 alternative answers, and you get the result after submitting your suggestions?

I thought this was great fun, thanks very much Mark.

 

Years ago I did a trivia quiz for the precursor to this group. If there’s interest I might see if I can find it.

 

Anyway, well done.
