Story

Thanks for your interest in the Zoom Quiz on Friday 28th August at 7.45pm, UK time - for 8pm start.

This year our usual fundraising events have been cancelled and so we are planning a second online Quiz and asking for donations. The money will be divided between the two locally run charities we support in Leon, Oxford's twin city in Nicaragua. They are Nuevas Esperanzas and NECAT, which are supporting people in impoverished communities to cope with the virus. 

In the meantime, here is a teaser to get you thinking! The answer will be revealed at the quiz.

There five countries in the world whose English names, when written as block capitals, contain no "closed" letters. By "closed" letters we mean ones with an area that could be coloured in eg A and O, whereas E, I and U are all "open". Nicaragua would not count because A and R each contain parts that could be coloured in and so are "closed" letters. See if you can think of these five countries. A clue is that they are all in different continents!

We look forward to seeing you on 28th August,
