IT’S the one question that stumped the most die-hard Sunday Post Quiz fans.

What is Graeme and Elizabeth’s big news?

That was the very special extra bonus question last week and here’s the solution – Fifer Graeme Miller and his wife are having a baby.

And your favourite Sunday paper gave the computer software engineer the answer he dreamed of when he asked to make the announcement in unique fashion.

Graeme, 26, got in touch with us to beg the biggest favour. Could we help him break the happy news that his nan and granddad are set to welcome their first great-grandchild?

 

And the reason for choosing our legendary quiz page for the revelation is simple – it is at the heart of the family’s weekend and an absolutely unbreakable tradition.

“We’ve been doing this for years and it’s getting passed down the generations,” said Graeme.

“When my nan and granddad, Margaret and William Michie, first met they started doing the quiz together and they’ve been doing it ever since. We just couldn’t have a week without The Sunday Post’s quiz.”

The grandparents are the organisers of the Sunday afternoon quiz-fest that’s taken so seriously it would put telly game shows to shame.

Every Sunday lunchtime the entire extended family, aunts, uncles, siblings and more, head to the couple’s Kinross home.

After the soup and sandwiches comes the main order of business.

 

“There are strict rules to be followed,” explains Graeme. “We form two teams, the in-laws and the out-laws.

“Anyone who is a blood relative of my nana is an in-law and everyone else is an out-law.

“The team whose turn it is gets two points per correct answer, the other team can get a bonus point if they answer one they get wrong.

“My nana is always quiz master and my granddad records the scores in books that go back years. There’s always lively debate and coming out on top each week and even more importantly at the end of the year is a big deal.”

 

 

 

 

Graeme and California-born wife Elizabeth, 27, whom he met at St Andrews University, have just returned to Scotland after five years living near London.

And they’ve come back with the great news that Elizabeth is expecting their first baby.

Only Graeme’s mum and dad were let into the secret.

Having everyone gathered together last Sunday made that the perfect occasion to share the news with everyone else.

And, as a puzzled Margaret came across our once-in-a-lifetime bonus question, Graeme and Elizabeth piped up with the answer.

There was joy and even a hint of a tear.

“It was an amazing moment,” said Graeme. “I was so nervous and nan almost missed the question but everyone turned to look and they were just so happy.

“I didn’t think in a million years you would be able to do this for us. It was magical and we’ll always remember how our baby news was announced.”

The couple are expecting their new arrival early next year.

Oh, and just for those all-important records, Sunday was that rarest of things, an honourable draw!
