Right, I'm going to post Saturday's answer in the hope you get in before or after the site has been down. It's not straightforward and I've had to think about it after some research but I think I've worked it.

Which of these is NOT an Olympic discipline?

Ans - Volleyball

(Apparently, an Olympic SPORT is made up of one or more DISCIPLINES that are represented by one international body. Windsurfing is a discipline in the sport of sailing, rowing is one discipline but also a sport as it has its own international body that doesn't represent other disciplines, whereas the FIVB represents the individual disciplines of indoor volleyball and beach volleyball. Hope my reasoning stands up to inspection!)

Well, i'd love to bring you Thursday's but it won't let me log in. I actually requested a new password and logged in on the main site correctly but when I went back to the quiz, it made me log in again and wouldn't let me in. I'm wondering if they've forgotten to load a final question. If anyone else can get on, I would be most grateful. I'll try again in the morning sometime too.
