QI True or False Questions:

1. David Cameron used to be the President of the Oxfordshire Chess Association.
2. Entrance to the Tower of London used to be free if you brought a dog or cat to feed to the lions.
3. Jellyfish Lake in Palau contains no jellyfish.
4. The Mariana Trench is so deep that a pebble dropped in it from the surface will take over an hour to reach the bottom.

Pure guess as I have no idea about any of them!
1. True - to get to be PM you most likely get to be president of every committee you join.
2. False - sounds plausible, but I’m hoping it’s not.
3. True - It sounds like one of “those” questions.
4. False - What is the size and shape of the pebble? I’m guessing that it will be a long time but not more than an hour.

I am not sure on any of the 4 this time. Usually I have some idea of at least one. I know the trench is around 10 km deep, but no idea how fast a pebble drops through water at that depth.
