Apparently tortoise is so delicious, it really doesn't matter what recipe you use. Funnest thing I ever saw on QI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPggB4MfPnk&feature=youtu.be&t=90

OK, similar (but much easier) question. Who was the most recent resident of 10 Downing Street who was not PM at the time? (Not the Mr Chicken, but....)

Correct! (That was quick!) The flat above No10 is much smaller than the one at No11, so Blair and Brown swapped, since the Blairs had 3 children.

Rossyl, your question!

I know Regan was the oldest. I would be guessing who was the youngest.

I could take 43 guesses. If i exclude the ones who i know it cant be then im still left with a few and a few i have no idea how old they were when they took office.

Scatter gun approach is it one of these : Ulysses Grant, Bill Clinton, Teddy Roosevelt, Barack Obhama ? Although i think Barack was about 46 ish when he took office.

Is the "to serve as" rather than "elected as" significant?
