Quiz Paper Verdict

This week the paper came from Ethel Rodin.  Not altogether universal praise.  Boos for being asked to guess the ages of Henry V and Richard III at the time of their death with no leeway, but praise for the "So Long, Farewell, John Tolan" round ("very well thought out" to quote but one correspondent).  Disputes about the site of the sinking of the Mary Rose, and thumbs down for the Berlioz wife question - but compliments for the kingly herb question.  All in all, however, pretty low scoring.
