…that is the question. So, does anyone fancy having a go at the British Red Cross’ special anniversary quiz, which we launched for Red Cross volunteers and staff last month to celebrate the Movement reaching its 150th birthday?

I’m afraid the winner’s prize of a luxurious weekend for two in Geneva has already been snaffled. However, if you fancy testing your knowledge of our prestigious organisation just for the sheer knowledge-building joy of it, why not have a go at the quiz now and, whatever you do, DON’T LOOK AT THE ANSWERS BELOW.

For those of you have already pitted their wits against our devilish hard questions, the answers you’ve been waiting for are listed below. At last, here’s your chance to say: ‘Yeah, got that one’, ‘Aw no’, ‘Oh, I knew that…’, ‘What sort of stupid answer is that?’ etc.

Anniversary quiz answers

1. Jimmy Savile
2. 1971
3. Charles
4. Agatha Christie
5. Button from a military tunic
6. Bottom left figure
7. She was an inspiration to Henry Dunant
8. It is a good idea to put a sandbag down the toilet
9. Cyclone Nargis – hit Myanmar (also known as Burma)
Cyclone Sidr – hit Bangladesh
Typhoon Fengshen – hit the Philippines
An 8.0 earthquake – devastated eight provinces in China
