World Premiere Quiz

JP's just been to a concert that included a world premiere and jolly good it was too.

As there were five pieces, here's a five part quiz:
1) Who clapped?
2) What makes the 2nd piece of music ideal for busking?
3) How long is 2 x 5?
4) Which kid did this one come from?
5) Despite the iPhone being a terrible camera, can you guess who is the man in the cap?
Bonus question: why was the method JP used to get home appropriate?

A clue to explain this obscurity here

World premier?

"Premier" is the title for the head of government in some countries and states, but I wasn't aware that the world now has a premier. Who appointed him or her? The United Nations?

Clearly I have not been keeping up with the news.

I am a mathematician: we are allowed to get the odd word's spelling wrong.

Particularly when its late and its been a long day with a world premiere in it.

Tillerman said...

Oh. You meant premiere? I see you have corrected the title and the question now. How are we supposed to know that you weren't really asking about the world prime minister?

I will have a think about it and let you know the answer in a day or two. I am bit tired from sailing right now.

But the way "its" is a possessive pronoun meaning "belonging to it." Is that the word you meant to use twice in your comment?

Tillerman said...

That should be "by the way", not "but the way".

But I am a scientist: we are allowed to get the odd word's spelling wrong.

Particularly when it's late and it's been a long day with a snarky comment about a world premiere in it.

I wonder if JP knows the difference between the English phrase "tell tales" and the word "tell-tales" or "telltales".

JP said...

Shurely its tell tails?

Tillerman said...

I wonder if O Docker knows that the American company APS sells a product called Tell Tales.

O Docker said...

I wonder if Tillerman knows that the Oxford English Dictionary, Merriam Webster, The Free Dictionary, Wikipedia, Sailing Magazine, and sailmaker UK-Halsey all spell it "telltales".
