    Saw a QI recently on elements & grew up on a farm. Hopefully went obscure enough.

    Hard to know when end of planets, go close to sun, expecting everyone to go towards the outer ones. Or try and double bluff, expecting others to do the same. Trying to outwit myself,

    No idea of Nobel prize,

    I went for the obvious answers hoping everyone else would try for the more obscure ones.
