I forgot to ask beforehand if you were okay with getting the King Edward Potato crown if you came in last. :slightly_smiling_face: It’s dished out on a voluntary basis, so don’t feel you have to sign up to it if you don’t want to. :+1:

:raising_hand_woman:t2: Objection @Ian_Chimp , Mr. Quizmaster… with apologies to @WillC.

:green_heart:5 - I googled this after submitting my answers as it interested me. Yak’s milk is White for the vast majority of the time!

Hippos are the only mammals that produce pink milk; there were many who believed that Yak’s milk is also pink but the fact is that when a Yak gives birth to a calf, the first milk produced contains blood that gives it a pink color and is known by the name of “Beastings”. After some time the milk turns back to the usual white color.

I realise this is contentious as it does alter the winner but I believe I get 1 more point as does @MsSubExperimenter which makes her our new winner this week… I am not suggesting you take away marks from anyone who said pink as it is pink briefly too!

I’m very, very sorry @WillC and obviously can be overridden! :see_no_evil:

2584

I suppose I better do a re-score…

2585

It’s ok @Peitho the Yak milk thing is a common pub quiz question, so i am happy if Google says it’s both! :slightly_smiling_face:

P.S. congratulations @MsSubExperimenter :slightly_smiling_face:

Im sorry @Ian_Chimp :see_no_evil:

I had a feeling the card answer was going to be pink… maybe I should have queried it sooner… next time I will.

@WillC next time you get asked this in a pub quiz, you can be the annoying know it all who corrects the question setter :rofl:. For me, the most interesting thing is that Hippo milk really is pink! A question for the future Mr. Chimp.

Congratulations @MsSubExperimenter ! :clap::clap::clap:

And welcome aboard @Forever_his :blush:
