Mastermind Wikipedia Challenge.....Again

If you read my post earlier in the week I mentioned a little challenge I know a few people have been taking part in relating to Mastermind. David Clark has over at LAM and the idea behind it is basically seeing whether or not a quick revision/learning of the specialist subjects using their Wikipedia page (or in a short spell of say 15 minutes online) can give you a competitive score. I was shocked at my own results last week, especially the Kate Bush round, and of course a little disappointed that I could score so well for so little input of time.

So tonight the challenge will be carried out again and I hope some fellow readers will take part. All you need to do is like I say take about 10-15 minutes to read through the Wikipedia page, see what sticks and how many points you can convert that into in the Mastermind rounds.

Tonight's subjects, remember its a double episode again -

Thomas Jefferson Hogg
The Diggers
The life and short stories of Raymond Carver
Luton Town FC from 1965

The Human Body
The Life and Work of James Brindley
The Soviet Space Programme
TV Career of Victoria Wood

Good luck!
