Phoenix Gets Its Bus Pass

ah, given that it was a race around the quad in cambridge could it be laps and therefore the answer might be roger bannister?

failing that, i think there was another chris, chris brasher is coming to mind for some reason.

Think you will find that it was Oxford. The University had their own running track, I believe.

flying spaghetti is getting closer!

It was the person who came last in the previous race but need the name please

then i would guess someone who he was about to lap, so the fellow who came last in the very same race?
as this quiz is stagnating a bit would anyone mind if i jumped in with an ettequte-busting question?

Heh, the answer must be obscure, I can't even find it on Wikipedia!

Maybe he ran the last lap on his own cos everyone else had dropped out therefore the answer is Bannister himself?

After some serious t'internet trawling I think I've finally found the answer although it could be 1 of 3

G Dole
A Gordon
W Hulatt

try google search quiz questions, roger bannister, and also type in a famous practical joker who died recently to direct you to a great site for trivia questions!!

Peter. I think we all give in. This one is a little too obscure. The Phoenix need to rise to level 66.

Good thinking. I'm interested about the answer but a new question would be grand. Regardless of the right answer, how about YoungKai sparks a new phoenix with his question?
