A Tricky Question‏

Courtesy of Asa Roast....

You have been asked to appear on The Weakest Link, the popular BBC quiz show hosted by the icy Anne Robinson.

You make it through the first few rounds without being judged the ‘weakest link’, but things are getting tougher. In the third round, a string of correct answers looks promising, but all it will take is one slip up and all the money accumulated could be lost!

Anne turns her steely gaze to you. Your palms are sweaty.

“In the sit-com ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel Air’,” she sneers, “the financial institutions owned by Uncle Phil’s family were contracted to collect and store a set of man-made geographical features – but exactly what kind of geographical features were they?”

You breathe a sigh of relief. You watched that episode just last night! And you can clearly remember that Uncle Phil was required to store a set of long artificial mounds of earth used to hold back water and support roads.

With confidence you answer:

“Banks’s Banks bank banks – bank!”
