    2. You ask the next question but only if your answer is correct

    3. Your question must be relative to the answer you have given
    correctly or to the subject matter of that answered question.

    e.g What is Irelands smallest County?
    A. Louth
    Q. How many times has Louth won the All-Ireland football C'ship etc.

    4. No ridiculously difficult stuff, keep it all inclusive!
