A new series of ITV quiz show “Tenable” began last Tuesday, 20 September 2022. Here are the questions and answers for today’s show, Tuesday 27 September, Series 6 Episode 6 (S6Ep6).
As with Series 5 last year, I am posting one piece for each episode containing the following: the questions, how the team fared and the answers.
The Questions
[S6Ep6] Team name: The Listening Ears
Round 1: 10 sports by trophies [“The ‘Tenable’ Tower will show the names of 10 major sporting trophies and the year the contest that they are associated with was first held or in the event of a series the year the series ended; we are looking for the 10 corresponding sports; in some cases the trophy was not originally known by the name on the ‘Tenable’ board; this is as of January 2022.”]
The clues: Vince Lombardi Trophy (1967) / Uber Cup (1957) / Larry O’Brien Trophy (1947) / Copa America (1916) / Claret Jug (1860) / Melbourne Cup (1861) / Stanley Cup (1893) / Calcutta Cup (1879) / America’s Cup (1851) / Venus Rosewater Dish (1886)
Round 2: The first 10 named characters in Narnia in ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ [The first 10 named characters in the 1950 CS Lewis book who are mentioned by name in the land of Narnia; because it’s about named characters, the robin who guides the children, and the person who drives the sleigh, are not ‘Tenable’ answers; “for fairness”, does not include characters who are mentioned once in passing but do not appear again in the story.]
