Here's all the answers to those questions on The Getaway Car
Scratching your head over those country names ending in 'a'? Want to know exactly which words are most used in English literature? We've got the answers
Dermot O'Leary's The Getaway Car launched tonight and with it came two head-scratcher general knowledge questions.
The show sees couples compete in driving-themed challenges as well as, at certain points, putting their quizzing knowledge to the test.
While being driven at full pelt around the track by none other than The Stig's nephews (Red and Blue Stig) contestants were asked questions - and here comes the bit where you can really join in at home - with multiple answers.
The first quizzing treat: how many countries can you name that end with the letter 'a'?
While one contestant managed six, the other scored just one point. There's actually 75 correct answers. How many of these did you get?
