The Lunchtime Bonus Question

Welcome to the Lunchtime Bonus Question.

The rules are simple. Every day at 1030 BST we give you an answer. You then tell us what the question was.

Marks are deducted for predictability, and a selection of your most wrong questions are published each day until about 1500 BST when the actual question is revealed.

The winner of this week's Lunchtime Achievement Award and keyring is Annie McGuinness of Lanarkshire for her utterly wrong question on Monday. "Great thanks," she said on receiving the award. "Can I trade it on eBay?" And no, no one ever taught her it was rude to point.

LBQ roll of shame

The LBQ will return on Tuesday 13 April. Happy Easter to all.
