We've made most other quiz shows, must be a first today on ITV's new humdinger.

'What bird appears on the badge of Brighton & Hove Albion?'

I got it right! :banana:

Ah - but there is no such bird as a 'Seagull'.

The only all white gulls are Icelandic or Glaucous Gulls, but they don't have yellow beaks (although of course, neither did BHA's gull on the old shield badge - the beak had no colour). The only ones with yellow beaks are Herring or the two Blacked Back Gulls. But they don't have all-white bodies.

So - what was the correct answer?

I was anticipating 45 minutes before Mr Pedant came along with an 'Actually.......' but you've far exceeded expectations.

Have you applied to go on?

The contestants got every riddle right, the winners won £2600 on the final run and got the double up answer too...

Other than that you're spot on
By far the best contestants so far. Incidentally and indeed coincidentally, Zeus was on the episode of 'Impossible' screened on BBC 2 Sat lunchtime today. He won.

West is BEST
Can you imagine if someone did actually give such an answer on a quiz? You would hope that they would be given an additional prize!

That’s the sort of thing QI would give points for. Or the claxon 🤣
