Yes, no Googling, readers. Actually, Jack, I'll wager you have some rather good quiz questions you could share. I like Barry's FA Cup submission, invites people to think laterally, although I wasn't.
OK, let's start here.

Who played the piano music in the 1996 Academy award winning movie, Shine.

An extra point for nominating the tune that was central to the film.

Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard executed.

The Hartenstein Hotel was HQ for UK Airborne Forces in Oosterbeek for the battle of Arnhem, 1944. Worth a visit.

I think Jack's question might have been meant for his MENSA buddies rather than us but I'll keep it open.

OK, let's start here.

Who played the piano music in the 1996 Academy award winning movie, Shine.

An extra point for nominating the tune that was central to the film.
A couple of hints.

- the film was about an aspiring young Australian pianist who had a mental breakdown during a competition in London

- the "tune" was the one he was playing at the time he broke down, and is considered one of the most technically challenging to play.

This is a recently widely acclaimed rendition by a young Korean pianist in competition. Please take the time to listen.

Sadly, your answer is incorrect, Desmond.

So Jack has given us part B but I think Geoffrey Rush himself played the music in the film.
