BBC launced in 1927 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC)

2010 - 1927 + 7 = 90

It asks when the bbc was founded.

The BBC was the world's first national broadcasting organisation and was founded on 18 October 1922 as the British Broadcasting Company Ltd (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC)

Just to chuck a spanner in the works: if the comp ends on 28th Oct....and BBC started (by some accounts) on 18th Oct, anyone answering in the last week of the comp will have an extra year

What bearing does that have on a completed year? It will still be 2010, not over until December 31st

I read it as 18th oct to 18th oct would be a completed year....

Hey guys,

I went with 95 because

- the question is : ...since the BBC was first founded... makes me go for 18/10/1922 rather than 1927

- the competition end date is 28/10/2010... makes for 88 complete years (I don't think the choice of end date should be overlooked)

88+7 =95


Sorry to bump, but thought it might be helpfull, good luck everyone
