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?
Chris Whittle, UK

So, Martin, how long do you think it will be until you get back onto Mr Jackson's Christmas card list?
Jez Greenwood, UK

If I take a handful of these Cialis, how long will my headache last?
Tony Towler, US

What do you get if you throw a party for 10 Van Gogh impersonators?
Paul Smith, UK

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.
