      Nope, Srameen got it as usual - the Fisher family from Six Feet Under. Excellent, excellent series.

      I wasn't that pushed on it, to be honest.

      What company did David Quayle and Richard Block found in 1969?

      Correct. Specifically a build up of fluid around the kidney due to an obstruction or blockage.

      Looking at those surnames I'll take a wild guess at B & Q?

      Not wild. An astute intelligent assessment of the information.

      Correct B&Q.

      I know it's sometimes call Instructional Learning but without reference to the educators in the family, and I'd never do that!, I await the answer with interest.

      Afraid not. Pavlov worked mostly in classical conditioning rather than operant conditioning.

      I'll have some Pavlova* to get over the disappointment of getting it wrong.








      *Not named after Pavlov, I know, I know....

      Reckless depends on the context.

      There is a movie, a TV series, at least one music album and single, an operation in WW2, and a famous American war horse.

      Take your pick.... unless it's something else altogether.

      It was indeed B. F. Skinner. He was probably most famous for creating the 'Skinner Box' (an operant conditioning chamber) using rats and more famously pigeons as his test subjects.

      It's something else altogether.... a clue.. name of a "character" in a series, could be human or not..

      Question is too vague. as srameen said there are multiple correct answers

      Reckless: heedless of danger or the consequences of one's actions; rash or impetuous

      Mod: Hi Kilk, welcome to the forum/quiz. Have to agree that the question is way too vague, the answer could be pretty much anything. Could you rephrase it please, or offer a different question. Thanks.

      Ok sorry for the vagueness, it's the name of an animal in a tv series.

      Kilk hasn't confirmed my answer but I'm sure it's correct.



      Margaret Allen, Louisa Merrifield, and Styllou Christofi have a common claim to fame. What is it?

      Are they all 'noms de plume' for the same person (only I wouldn't know who that person may be)?
