    Oh Quiz Master ...... if I (hypothetically) had the dvd of a hypothetical film and happened to watch said hypothetical film (just by chance) and then got the answer to a question at any point either now or in the future, is that against the rules?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hypothetically if you already had the DVD and hypothetically accidentally happened to watch it then that is okay

    BUT if you in a premeditated manner went out and purchased or rented the movie in physical (DVD/Blu-ray) or digital form or streamed it knowing that the answer to a quiz question may be contained within, then that would be against the rules and spirit of the quiz and I would have to whip out my quiz master's red pen and strike out the answer and issue a formal warning and deduct 5 points.

    The above is just hypothetical as I know no Princess would ever employ such devious tactics

    After discussion with my legal team it was decided hypothetically that it is permissible to watch a movie (which may or may not have the hypothetical answer to a hypothetical quiz question) that is stored on a personal server providing you watch the WHOLE movie and do NOT skip through just to find a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question.

    Light bulb idea, in the next quiz a question about the etymology of the word hypothetical its uses and derivation may or may not be include this is of course purely hypothetical

    Watch the whole of The Full Monty? Not a problem! It came out when I was 7 months pregnant with Katie and I was laughing so hard the woman next to me in the cinema was worried I’d go into labour

    Being always faithful to the art of fun quizzes a little piece of music called Semper Fidelis (see what I did there you Latin scholars)



    Now after being energised by that superb piece of music don't you just want to type the DWD quiz answers on your beloved keyboard
