(6/17) What's the largest artery in the human body? What's the biggest-selling single in Britain never to have reached no.1? And when Shane Warne bowled the so-called 'Ball of the Century', who was on the receiving end? You can find the answers to these and many other questions - and discover whether the contestants know the answers - in the sixth heat of the 2024 Brain of Britain tournament. There's a place in the semi-finals reserved for today's winner, but others could go through too if the contest is tight and their scores are high enough. Taking part are: Jo Cardwell from Lichfield David Edwards from Denstone in Staffordshire Brian Johnston from Sutton Coldfield Janie Mitchell from Lydbury North in Shropshire. Brain of Britain is a BBC Studios Audio production for Radio 4. Assistant Producer: Stephen Garner Producer: Paul Bajoria
