Random Quiz

Post by moley »

Quick random quiz for Monday morning.

Look at this picture that I found on the internet: Clicky

A whole point to anyone who can tell me what is wrong in the picture
A bonus point to anyone who can tell me the solution
A second bonus point to anyone who can tell me who is to blame (positions / authorities rather than specific names).

Clue: The photographer was stood on platforms 17/18 at London Waterloo this morning.

And the answer is ...
One thing only do I know, and that is that I know nothing - Socrates.

My best guess (no point in PMing this, really...): One of the trains is white and the other is blue.

I would explain what I think it is, but it's complicated, so I'll wait for Moley to publish it.

<panto>Oh no it isn't!</panto>

What you think is a missing third rail is a wooden "shroud" to protect staff working near the conductor rail. It's something a little less obvious if you don't know Waterloo.

Cheers,
