Absolutely. There is a slight problem - not with the fact but how we're going to perform it because it's written in what's called tablature which tells you where to press your fingers on the strings of a harp.

O'Brien is married to Lucy McDonald and has two daughters. [17] Politically, O'Brien prefers to be described as ' liberal' rather than 'left-wing'.

[44] Books [ edit ] There is a correct answer and a false answer on each card, but the player asking the question (the host) is allowed to invent a false answer of their own to replace the one on the card before the game begins. Three points are scored if a player answers the question posed correctly without hearing the correct and false answers first as prompts. One point is scored if a player gets the correct answer, having heard both the correct and false answers (a 50:50 chance). The host can also score two points from each player who chooses their invented answer as the correct answer. The game is relatively simple at its heart, both for good and for bad.

Overall, we enjoyed the game but I doubt it will make it to the table regularly. There just isn’t that much to it and it just doesn’t have that wow factor. Having said this, the more we played, the more we settled on the idea of James O’Brien’s Mystery Hour having all of the ingredients for a fiery Christmas Day family gaming experience. For a start, all of the question cards could be quite easily distributed before dinner to allow players to invent clever false answers in good time. As our group played, it became clear that some of the cards are very subjective in their wording (“Does mixing drinks get you drunk faster?” If you’re a pedant, surely a yes or no should be enough to get points here, as it doesn’t ask you to justify anything). Answers can be wide open to interpretation too. Clive James on (election) TV". The Independent. 30 May 2001 . Retrieved 25 April 2009. [ dead link]
