Episode notes
UK Carrot Production Is Vast And Local
- Britain sows about 22 billion carrot seeds annually and produces roughly 700,000 tonnes of carrots.
- About 97% of carrots consumers buy in the UK are grown domestically, so imports are minimal.
Centuries-Old Bonds Still Pay Today
- Some Dutch water-board bonds issued in the 17th century remain active and still pay small amounts today.
- One 1624 bond paid about 13 euros annually and celebrated its 400th birthday recently.
Set Quiz Rules Clearly Up Front
- When creating simple quizzes, clarify scope and definitions to avoid confusion (e.g., canonical vs non-canonical films).
- State constraints upfront to prevent post-show corrections and sweaty apologies.
