    About this ebook

    From the ever-curious mind that brought you the bestselling Do You Think You’re Clever? comes a brand-new trip to the far reaches of the intellectual universe, courtesy of even more notoriously provocative Oxbridge interview questions.

    How would you poison someone without the police finding out? (Medicine, Cambridge)
    What makes a strong woman? (Theology, Oxford)
    Instead of politicians, why don’t we let the managers of IKEA run the country? (Social and Political Sciences, Cambridge)
    How do you organise a successful revolution? (History, Oxford)


    Whether you’re interested in going to Oxbridge or just want to give your brain a workout, join polymath John Farndon on another exhilarating journey through the twists and turns of thought, and explore just what it means to be genuinely clever – rather than just smart.
