    "Who was the founder of modern Turkey" probably won't make weakest link, but it'd be a fairly easy question for mastermind.

      The point - and this seems to be lost on some people - is that it was supposed to be the blokes "Specialist Subject"! He chose that subject and knew f**k all about it!

        Specialist Subject does automatically mean good knowledge of said specialist subject.

          Now that's not true.

          Turkish Delight was invented by Elizabeth Fry, who married into the Fry chocolate family and was a big advocate of penal reform. Elizabeth wanted to introduce legislation that enforced the minimum size of the British male penis to match that of a Turk who she had slept with - hence "Fry's Turkish Delight".

              Do you have a valid FAC to do that?

                Alex, I'll help you out here because Mastermind is obviously not your specialist subject.

                On Mastermind, you choose your specialist subject yourself, and you bone up on it before going to the show.
