 EYP London News » Latest competition: which quite interesting dead person are you?

 9 Comments- Add comment | Back to Home Written on 30-Nov-2009 by KSwanston

We have quite an interesting competition this month, dear EYP readers. We have all the QI books published this year - QI: Book of The Dead, QI: Advanced Banter, and QI Annual 2009 – to give to one lucky member.  Could that be you?  Read on to find out how it could be…

To celebrate the recent publication of QI: The Book of the Dead, Faber and Galactus have collaborated on a hilarious and mind-expanding online quiz for you to find out which quite interesting dead person you could be.
 
The quiz takes six of the most interesting life stories from the book and turns them into a multiple choice questionnaire, with questions covering school days, love life and guilty secrets. Take the quiz, and alongside the results, you can read short biographies of the featured stars, from Sir Isaac Newton to Florence Nightingale, wherein you can find out about the wholly unexpected sides of these famous and fascinating people in extracts taken from QI’s wonderful new book, part of their ongoing project to help us all laugh ourselves clever.

Back to the competition: to enter, all you need to do is:

  • Take the quiz – available online here
  • Find out exactly which quite interesting dead person you’d be
  • Come back to this blog post and click “Add Comment” - tell us who you’d be and whether or not you can relate.

Please make sure you log into this site to comment - or put your email address on your comment – so we know how to contact you should you be the lucky winner.

The competition ended 13 December

    good quiz, and that's saying something from someone who's too busy hanging out with natives to take just any quiz! Mary Kinsley?

    Frida Kahlo as well... looks like she's quite common! I suppose I can relate to her... she was a bit of a nutjob though.
