| Friday, 7 February, 2003, 16:34 GMT Quiz of the week's news ![]() It's the end of the week, so it's time for BBC News Online's weekly news quiz. Every week you can find it at this address: ![]() ![]() And here is the Seven Days, Seven Questions bonus question. (Entries are now closed.) The rules are simple. We give you the answer, you write the question. Marks are deducted for predictability. The answer is: "At least 10 years." Wrong questions included: How long will it be before Steps are credited by rock musicians as major influences? So, Martin, how long do you think it will be until you get back onto Mr Jackson's Christmas card list? If I take a handful of these Cialis, how long will my headache last? What do you get if you throw a party for 10 Van Gogh impersonators? How long does it take for a gas company to work out how to send electricity bills? So, remind me again, as I'm 65 next birthday how much longer am I going to have to work before my pension will be worth anything? If I take a handful of these Cialis, how long will my wife's headache last? How long before Norman Wisdom is 98, Pat MacNee is 91 and Val Doonican is 84? How long until Chico Scimone gets his breath back enough to runback down the Empire State Building. All wrong. The correct question was how long do experts estimate it will take Nasa to develop a successor to the Space Shuttle, having scrapped the X-33 project in 2001 after spending billions of dollars. Another bonus question next week. | Caption compWinning captions for Colin Powell at the UN Planet TabloidFantastic stories - plus our pun competition Top UK stories now: Links to more UK stories are at the foot of the page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
