The Guardian claims that the King William's College quiz is probably the toughest quiz in the world. Not so. Charlie Brooker's quiz was far, far harder. If only because it didn't really make sense:

If Colin has six apples, Janice has nine, and then Colin loses his temper and throws one of his into a hedge while Janice watches, eating two-thirds of hers, and then an apple truck crashes, spilling its load, and each of them can pick up two apples every 10 seconds (with each hand), but Colin's left hand is in his pocket, who has the most apples after 15 seconds?

The answer?

Colin. The apple truck was being used to ferry a consignment of deckchairs, and therefore contained no apples. Colin, however, had another three apples in his pocket, which I forgot to mention earlier

Now that's the true acme of a tough quiz...
