The QED Quiz with Cosmic Shambles
This year’s QED Quiz will be a fun-filled multi-media affair presented by Book Shambles with Robin Ince and Josie Long and The Cosmic Shambles Network.
We’ll be delving into the world of science, skepticism, science fiction, classics and more and, just like the show itself, we’ll be using books as a jumping off point. But if you’re not a big reader, don’t stress, there’ll be something for everyone! Hosted by Shambles producer Trent Burton with great prizes including books, event tickets and more!
Numbers are strictly limited, so make sure you register your team of four (no more, no fewer) today!
