King William's Quiz

You're alone in the woods and a fierce grizzly bear looms up in your path, and he roars, and then he says, "I'll let you live if you can tell me what burned down on the day Alexander the Great was born, and what high hill towers over Drumcliff Churchyard."

Blog-friend Benzene 4 has assembled a complete set of answers to the King William's College Quiz, and well before the deadline. Brown-noser. Yours truly chipped in a few, but they were ones others eventually would have found. The main purpose of this exercise, for grown ups, is to validate a lifetime devoted to stuffing one's brain with trivial history and second-rate poetry.
