About this quiz
A run is six boards drawn from a pool of 12, covering Booker, Pulitzer and Nobel winners, children's classics, opening lines, Shakespeare, the Brontës, Christie, Tolkien and the Greek gods. You do not need to know all nine statements: two sure falsehoods can rule out most of the eight lines.
- Every board has exactly one winning line. No board has two, and none has zero.
- Each board is turned or flipped at random when it is dealt, so the winning line is never in a remembered place.
- After you lock a line in, all nine statements are marked true or false, and each false one comes with what is true.
- The T and F buttons under each square are private notes. They never count for or against you.
