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, and a selection of your wrong questions will be added during the course of Friday.

The answer is: "Pretty reasonable."

Wrong questions included:

What are the chances of Doki getting a date for Valentine's Day?.
Dick van Anrooy, UK

What is the most unlikely description of Britain's transport system?
A) Rubbish
B) Awful
C) Pretty Reasonable
Terry Lock, England

What are the thoughts of all the men who will stop off at a garage to buy a bunch of petrol-blooms for their loved one this evening, having remembered at the last minute that it was St. Valentine's day?

Adam Lee, UK

What two qualities do people most wish to see in their Valentine this year?
Gareth Williams, UK

What is name of the lead female in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - The sequel?, U.K.
Martin Hiscock

All wrong. The correct question was: "How did the chairman of the Arts Council of England describe spending �70,000 on a rebranding which will see his organisation rechristened 'Arts Council England'?".

Bad luck to all the losers. Better luck next Friday, when Seven Days Seven Questions returns.
