There's brand new QI tonight at 9pm on @BBCTwo and it's all about REFLECTIONS! Starring Sandi, Alan, @joelycett, @zoelyons and Liza Tarbuck.
Now there's something not right with this picture, but we can't quite put our finger on it...

But before then it's time for our pre-QI quiz!

TRUE OR FALSE

The 1882 eruption of Krakatoa could be heard over 100 miles away in Jakarta. 🌋

83% said True but it's False!
The eruption was in 1883. 🤭

TRUE OR FALSE

There are three sheep for every person in Wales.

66.6% said True and... it is!

TRUE OR FALSE

There is a language used in New Guinea that is only used while gathering nuts.

78% of people said True... and it is True!

TRUE OR FALSE

Mosquitoes have a lot more sex if they are listening to dubstep.

70% said True but it's actually False. They have a lot *less* sex. Here is an extract from the research paper, if anyone fancies a deep dive: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

When we played this quiz in the studio, Charlie got every question right and was crowned The Cleverest Person In The Room. Congratulations Charlie!

Right, we're off to check ourselves in the mirror before tonight's episode which is all about REFLECTIONS. BBC Two, 9pm. See you there! #QI
