  • The Schleswig-Holsten-Pils-Question is one of the quiz questions that has been described as the 'Ultimate Brain Scrambler'. If you are able to understand the question and say you can supply the answer- this is what will happen to you :- * Madness * Dementia * Death Known also as the Zero-Zero-Zero = Slum Quiz Programme Question Paradox' - for professional quiz question masters is also known as the 'Schlewsig-Holsten-Pils Question or S-H-P-Q'. It is a question that is so brain taxing - that providing the answer is like throw a match on a pool of liquid fuel. Though boring history books say the question is about some arcane dispute about a pair of otherwise obscure lands between Germany and Denmark - the Schleswig-Holsten-Pils Question first burst into the international arena during a quiz game at the Ugly Duckling Bar in Copenhagen, Denmark. These were the teams if you are still interested:- * Austria. Baron Schpott and Emperor Franz-Josef * France. Monsieur Petard and Emperor Napoleon III * Great Britain. Lord Palmerston and Prince Albert. * Prussia. Otto Von Bismarck and King Wilhelm I * Russia. Grand Duke Segue Romanov-Knockendorf and Czar Alexander II The quiz was held at the Ugly Duckling Bar in Copenhagen and it all seemed to be going very well. Everyone had managed to answer the easy ones like Do You Know When the next Revolution is Due ? and How Old Is Joan Collins today ? when this one popped up. Can Any of the Contestants please explain to me what the Schleswig-Holsten-Pils-Question is ? The Prince Consort - Prince Albert wrote down his answer on a piece of paper but then died suddenly. Monsieur Petard mumbled something incoherently and had to be lead away in a strait jacket .Baron Schpott declined to answer and said he was deaf anyway. However the Russian contestant Fyodor Dostoyevsky who was there under the false name of Grand Duke Segue Romanov-Knockendorf suggested the answer was an anagram of the question and then repeated the same query until forcefully ejected from the room. This left the Prussian chancellor Otto Von Bismarck as the de-facto winner of the game - even though he hadn't answered the question either. He claimed victory because the question wasn't seeking an answer but only an explanation - and therefore was not then a question at all. So Bismarck claimed both ownership of the question - and its answer - and returned to Berlin in triumph where he celebrated his victory with a Prussian Goose Step Rap under the Brandenburg Gate.
