Well, you seem to be doing very well to me. I think I can safely claim that I have more blocks than you have!

Yeah, I'm in that position every year. It helps once you've worked out the theme of each set of ten (there always is one) so that you have a way in, but even then its a bugger.

Example: Round 9 Question 5 jumped out at me. That references Lady Macbeth's words following Duncan's murder ("I heard the owl scream and the crickets cry"). Once I saw that, other questions from that block immediately suggested Claudius, Antiochus, Leontes, etc. So it was clearly a round on kings in Shakespeare, and I could make short work of it. There's other blocks where I haven't got the first clue yet.
