Happy 1st birthday LBQ - the keyring goes on tour In pictures

The rules are simple. Every day at 1030 BST on the Magazine index we give you an answer. You then tell us what the question was.

Marks are deducted for predictability, and a selection of your most wrong questions are published each day until about 1500 BST when the actual question is revealed.

The winner of this week's Lunchtime Achievement Award and the prize keyring is Stuart Cowley, aka Stu, for his shamefully wrong question on Wednesday. Accepting his award he said: "An almost worthy replacement for my lost Blue Peter badge."

To mark the first anniversary of the LBQ, you were invited to enter an extra contest to write a story using as many of the answers from the past year in no more than 150 words. Extra points were awarded for being convincing and incorporating references to current events.

Last year my older brother told me of a band from the sixties called "Tractor". He said that they were bigger than the Beatles and more shocking than the Sex Pistols, but, strangely he had none of their records. I asked him why? He said that he had sold them all years ago and that he was no longer a fan of theirs...that they had sold out, big time. Until quite recently I have been telling my mates at school that my brother was an "Ex-tractor Fan" as they all giggled. From where I'm standing I look like what? Yes...
