Tom Sutcliffe chairs radio's most fiendish quiz

The Welsh take on the Scots in the game of obscure knowledge and cryptic connections.

(4/12)
If the components were the square root of minus 1, the works of Mozart, MDMA and retinol, why might you need instructions to help you assemble them?

The teams from Wales and Scotland talk their way through this and plenty of other convoluted puzzles as they both make their second appearance in the current series. Tom Sutcliffe is on hand to give guidance where required, although the more hints he has to drop the more points he'll be docking from their scores. Defending RBQ champions Myfanwy Alexander and David Edwards play for Wales, against Val McDermid and Alan McCredie of Scotland.

As always there'll be a healthy sample of questions drawn from the many hundreds sent in by listeners in recent months.

Producer: Paul Bajoria
