Shocking how deep the knowledge of Bros is with certain members of this forum ;)

I was a child of the 70's but had to suffer some of the Dros I mean Bros of the 80's. Some great music around in the 80's but we all tend to forget the cr4p that was around as well. Milli Vanilli, Zig Zig Sputnik, Joe Dolce to name but a few.

Now as for the shredded wheat question. Its one strand as granny knitts them. So it must be one strand only. ;) Except if she has finished one ball of wheat and has to join another ball of wheat on to finish.

An alternative answer would be based on how many strands are in each layer of the criss cross (not the 90's rapper) before they are cut. I will take a guess at 40 x 25 which would give you 1000 in total but don't make a meal of it. ;)

Grannies knit Shreddies, not shredded wheat...

They used to have have bigger grannies to make the shredded wheat. Sadly they were killed in an accident when they were crushed by a giant knitting ball of wheat. It was a cerial killer. ( I'll get my coat) ;)

My daughter tells me that Phil is quoting musical lyrics, albeit in the loosest possible sense! ;)

I'll give it to Mr Coop ! No one knows the answer but it is one of three questions asked at the beginning of the Awesome De La Soul album "3ft High and Rising".

Who can tell me what a ghazal is?

I've just seen the question and was going to say about DLS!!! Great guys, I worked with them when I was at their record label a few years ago, happy days - thanks for the reminder Phil!

Okay, and now we've met our contestants, let's get to the game!
I'm going to ask an amount of four questions, and you'll try to answer them correctly. Now, you out there in the audience can answer along with them!

How many feathers are on a Purdue chicken?

How many fibers are intertwined in a Shredded Wheat biscuit?

What does 'Touche et lele pu' mean?

How many times did the Batmobile catch a flat?

Surely it's one question at a time!
