How much do you know about Cuckoo? Best to let Stephen Fry explain in this recent article from the weekends papers.

QI goes Cuckoo

Q: Who would win in a fight in terms of packing the biggest height punch…? The Stay Puft marshmallow man or Optimus Prime?
Q: In Poker does a Full House beat Four of a Kind?
and finally..
Q: Is the Millennium Falcon bigger than the USS Enterprise?

Stuff you’ve forgotten, things you never thought you knew, and lessons you didn’t quite get round to learning – can all be found in Visual Aid, a book I picked up last week and just bought out of pure indulgence…

Oh… the answers?!
Stay Puft is miles bigger than Optimus Prime… 131ft versus 23ft…. I’m not sure the David and Goliath theory would work in this case. Pufty could easily crush Optimus with one marshmallow toe…Four of a Kind beats a Full House and the USS Enterprise is more than 3 times the size of the Falcon – the one and only time Capt Kirk has one up on Han & Chewy

How did you spend your GCSE (or O-level, for those of you whose are the other side of 35…) Chemistry lessons?

Was you staring mindlessly at the spider scurrying around in the bench sink trying to dodge the fatal pool of unidentified spilled chemical…doodling flaming bunsen burners on the back cover of your lever arch file or…was you actually paying attention?

Whatever the above, it’s test your Periodic Table time: What does…K…H…and B stand for?
Potassium, Hydrogen and Boron…?
Well done! It didn’t all go in one ear and out the other then…?
Ok, what about Q? …CE? …Ag? or even the fabulous C?

Got you stumped…?! Just click here to find out. It’s pure creative genius, I’d pay attention in this Chemistry class.
