A brand new quiz every Thursday!

What scale measures how spicy a chilli is?

Quiz 18 measured heat, unscrambled a very famous bear and asked players to read between the pictures. Here are its keepers.

What scale measures how spicy a chilli is?

The Scoville scale. Invented by pharmacist Wilbur Scoville in 1912, it rates the fire in a pepper: a capsicum scores zero, a jalapeño a few thousand, and the world record holders run into the millions. Yes, people eat those on purpose.

Can you unscramble DATING POND into a famous bear?

Paddington. The marmalade-loving bear from darkest Peru was hiding in the letters all along. Anagram questions reward the players who grab a pencil instead of staring hopefully at the screen.

Can you solve the picture puzzle about time?

Have a look at the image above first. It represents Every Second Counts. The layout is the clue, as always with a rebus: the pictures spell out the phrase piece by piece.

That was Quiz 18: chilli science, a scrambled bear and a phrase hiding in pictures. The pencil-and-paper players won that week.
