The most bizarre programme quiz ever?

[Beirao 202]

From memory the quiz ran for just three weeks with the example shown being the middle of three and the only one to give answers to the previous weeks quiz. I'm still curious as to who came up with this quiz. Presumably Les Whaley.

The quiz ran for 4 weeks from 18th April until 9th May. The numbers grid remained the same. The results of each quiz were:

18th April - Barry Briggs (12), Ole Olsen (3) and Clive Hitch (48).

25th April - Jim McMillan (30), Ivan Mauger (1) and Jimmy Gooch (96).

2nd May - Soren Sjosten (19), Roy Trigg (6) and Bernie Persson (24).

9th May - Bengt Larrson (11), Bruce Cribb (10) and Ronnie Genz (95).

Theories:

1. Entrants made their picks and the promotion simply selected the winners at random and allocated the numbers thereafter.

2. There was a predetermined list of riders and numbers and it was just your luck whether you were correct or not.

Either way there was no logic involved.

Could it have been a mad attempt to encourage programme sales?

Wow! That makes no sense whatsoever! Is that really representative of logic and intelligence north of the border? 

Might just have well have had a "Spot the Ball" on a speedway photo...

No.2 above.  Each numbered square represents a rider.  Choose three numbers and hope they are the correct ones.

Reckon there’s a bottle of Champagne and couple of boxes of “foosty” chocolates still in a cupboard somewhere.
