How's Your Answer?
Can You name the Seven Wonders of the World?
*(1) The Pyramids of Egypt. (2) The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. (3) The Temple of Diana at Ephesus. (4) The Colossus at Rhodes. (5) Phidias's Statue of Jupiter at Athens. (6) The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. (7) The Lighthouse on the island of Pharos at Alexandria.
You can't? Well, it need not keep you awake nights, but if you happened to be on the East Coast Quiz such a gap in your general knowledge might cost your team three points. For it is questions like this which form the stock-in-trade of that ever-popular entertainment, one of the seven-and-seventy wonders of the air, the radio quiz.
In Gisborne, the quiz, sponsored by Kandid Kamera Kraft, matches teams from mercantile firms, clubs, and other groups in a weekly elimination contest over a period of months.
When "Photo News" poked its camera into the studio last month, the Police were matching wits with the Bank of New Zealand.
