The quizincludes probing political multi-choicequestions suchasWhich Peep Show Character would you invite for dinner, choose your favouriteJames Bond and select a Kanye Westlyric.

Under "Choose some bling", participants could choose between a watch, set of pearls, bracelet, a set of earrings, a ring or a monocle.

For another question, they are asked "All you need is?", with the options of love, money, family, glory, power or a nice country home.
