    I assume the "The greatest part of knowledge is knowing where to find something" part means it's an open book test?

    Are there rules?

        From last year's published in the Guardian:

        > Editor’s note: the King William’s College quiz has appeared in the Guardian since 1951. The quiz is no longer sat formally; it is sent to the schoolchildren and their families to tackle over the Christmas holiday. So yes, you are allowed to Google – however, the questions are constructed to make that less than straightforward. Answers will appear on the Guardian website on 15 January 2025. Good luck!

    Is this an AI test now?

      Ha, yes it is!

        OpenAI null points

        "Charles Edward Biffen was a notable British figure, particularly in the realms of politics, education, and military service during the early 20th century. However, there seems to be some confusion or lack of widespread historical records regarding the exact case of amnesia in 1925 associated with him. It is possible that you're referring to a different individual, as Charles Edward Biffen doesn't have a documented history of public amnesia in 1925"
