Musical and General
HE final Musical Quiz at 1ZB was held on Friday, April 5. It didn’t end with a bang, nor yet with a whimper. It
went on cheerfully as usual, until apparently somebody decided that it was time to try something else. On the whole I have enjoyed the Musical Quiz, but I think that where it failed was in attempting to combine knowledge of classical music with knowledge of popular hits. These two interests seldom co-exist in one person and, as each entrant was usually exposed to a question in each of these two classes, there were too many
hesitations and hiatuses to keep the session really lively. A general knowledge jackpot is promised instead of the Musical Quiz at the same hours each Friday and Saturday. My own guess is that this will be more entertaining and less exasperating. I still hope, though, that some day both our intellectual and
sporting instincts will be thoroughly satisfied by a session in Which experts "volunteer, confident enough of their knowledge to back it by offering a forfeit if they fail to answer correctly.
