Here is a quiz to try, based on the burning questions of the day.
1. Someone calls you an elite diva. Do you respond by:
a) grabbing the nearest chair and beating them senseless to the floor
b) smiling benignly, on the basis that it is better to be notorious than unknown
c) patiently arguing the point, until you realise that the bloke is an idiot, upon which you revert to option a).
2. At an urban event you have been seen trampling through a flower bed, taking a short cut across an out of bounds area, scaling an uncrossable wall, and reaching through an uncrossable fence to punch a control. Who is most to blame?
a) The mapper
b) The planner
c) The organiser
d) The controller
e) BOF
3. As part of route choice you are running along a very narrow path, bounded on each side by unpleasantly thorny bushes. A cyclist is coming towards you and is clearly not going to stop. You squeeze into the bushes somehow, at the cost of a mere scalp wound and a few gouges in the legs, but as the cyclist wobbles past he falls over and blocks the path. Do you:
a) blow your whistle and when help arrives roll the cyclist to the side, throw the bicycle over the hedge, and continue on your way
b) trample over the bike and the cyclist (taking care to really grind your studs in) and continue on your way
c) in a moment of inspiration drag the cyclist out of the way, steal the bike and do the rest of the path on wheels.
4. BOF decides to avoid all controversy by holding the British Champs in secret in Telford. Despite confusing, contradictory, and deliberately ambiguous final details, 1,000 people find themselves in Dawley with no sign of an event. An exasperated orienteer from the West Midlands organises everybody into a 3-mile wide search line, and they sweep the town until hours later they pile into the pub and start composing vitriolic complaints to anybody they can think of. Meanwhile a random Swede on holiday accidentally stumbles on the event which is hidden in an obscure field in Little Wenlock. The random Swede, as the only competitor, wins. Do BOF:
a) declare him British Champ (through gritted teeth)
b) instantly create a new category and declare him British Champ (Non-Dom)
c) declare his entry illegitimate, as he is Bjorn out of Wenlock.
5. An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman go into a bar. After the third pint, they decide to enter a relay team in the JK. They are beaten by a team of Welshmen. As a member of the losing team do you:
a) congratulate them in fluent Cornish
b) join a Dutch club instead
c) give up drink
6. Your club Treasurer is having a nervous breakdown as he is unable to work out what effect the proposed new BOF levy will have. In a moment of panic to give himself more time, he quietly gets your next event redesignated as an Activity, not a Fixture. Unfortunately, your next event is a Level B. Do you:
a) insist that every competitor must carry a whistle, an egg, and a spoon
b) surreptitiously hack into the BOF database and convert every entrant to being members of your club
c) 5 minutes after the closing of courses send an e-mail to BOF stating that your club, Up North, no longer exists and cannot be contacted but would they register the existence of a new club, Oop North, with officials remarkably having the same names as the old club.
Give yourself 1 point for every answer.
Scoring
6 points - you can follow instructions!
0-5 points - you need help, much help

Oh good questions
1. Option D - buy them a dictionary, highlighting meaning of elite and then ask them to refrain from mind altering substances whilst admiting to being a non-elite Diva.
2. Option F - deny everything Baldric...... Is your name private Baldric.... No
3. Option D -assuming that I would not give way and that the laws of motion apply i.e. M1V1 = M2V2 call for an ambulance immediately and carry on given the bike and cyclist will both be trashed by M2 even if V2 is slow these days.
4. Option D - publish a summary of the findings, which doesn't include the actual conclusion.
5. Option D - are you drunk, that'll never happen it would be like a crap rugby side like Wales winning a rugby GS in 2005, 2008 and 2012.
6. Option D - persuade someone to lend me the money to pay the levy by promising them the levy for the next 3 years - good enough for soccer in Glasgow.
