OK, heads up: there's a football match on BBC2 on Monday the 13th, so that week's #UniversityChallenge, #OnlyConnect and #Mastermind will be on Tuesday the 14th instead.

So, as for the highest scoring runners-up, we now know at least one of Sheffield and SOAS is coming back, but not which; if next week's runners-up score less than 175, they're both definitely back. #UniversityChallenge

#Gaza:
People are being starved, while a few kilometers away supermarkets are loaded with food.
UNRWA has thousands of trucks in neighbouring countries, loaded with food and medicines.
We are just waiting for the green light.
Lift the siege and let aid in at scale.

No University Challenge tonight because of the snooker - though the snooker is about the finish anyway!
I've got your back though - relive both semi-finals with my bumper review here quizposting.com/snookered/

Bonus questions on #UniversityChallenge have varying levels of difficulty.
There tends to be:
- an easier one
- a medium-er one
- a harder one
This week there was one that was 300x more difficult than the easiest one 🧵

I thought the same. I'd heard of The Golovlyov Family, but I didn't know any of the characters and I wouldn't even have guessed it for this question because it seems too obscure.

I think Saltykov-Shchedrin is one of those authors who's much more notable in Russia than overseas (see also Pushkin or Gorky compared to, say, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky or Bulgakov, who are all more well-known in the English language).

Elisa Rae Shupe, the first person legally designated nonbinary in the US, appears to have died by suicide. Her death and apparent suicide note are currently being minimally reported; I am using my platform to try to amplify them.
