Comic Relief Quiz
Discussion
Needa bit of help with this one.... we are doing a bit of a comic relief "pub style" quiz in the office, that has 47 questions.
Question 47 reads as follows:
"Why are there 47 questions in this quiz?"
Apparantly the answer has something to do with this years Red Nose Day.... but I am fooked if I know what!

47 is the quintessential random number.
Many have noticed. Many have wondered: why?
Many more have wondered: so what?
The 47 society is dedicated to exploring the phenomenon that is 47.
What is 47?
In short, 47 appears to be the quintessential random number of the universe. In other words, when a number appears randomly, more often than not, that number is 47. In other other words, if you asked people to pick a number at random, more often than not, that number would be 47. Of course, if 47 shows up more than any other number then it isn't truly random, but using the word random makes the whole phenomenon easier to describe.

Apparantly the answer was that if you add 4 and 7 together, you get the date of this years Red Nose Day.
That was the only bit of mathmatics we didn't think of!
We came up with:
"Was 47 million raised last time?"
"Do 47 countries benefit from cash raised?"
"Is Red Nose DAy the 47th day of the year?"
etc etc
