BBC quiz program.
Final question, worth �2000. Name 3 F1 champions who only won the title
once. Contestants had one minute to think of three answers and if any
answer wasn't given by any of the 100 people asked before the show.
They foolishly went for English or recent ones, none of their answers
was pointless.
There are 17 correct answers, six were pointless. How many can you name
in 60 seconds.
Modesty prevents me saying that I could name all 17.
