A:?

I'm honestly curious as to what answer they gave, and also if anyone tries using this for pub quizzes with the usual rules of "the answer I give is right even if I can be proved wrong" will there be a riot?

The answer they gave was "no". I think this is understandable, if a little conservative, and really they can't prove that they didn't.

The advantage of drawing animals on the sides of caves is that the canvas doesn't wander off to eat interesting looking trees. This may have been an early abortive experiment in the history of art.

One day they will dig a preserved animal out of a bog with a perfect likely of Wookey Hole sketched on it's hide....

A: Only when drunk.

Is that acceptable as an answer, or are they looking for something more educated like
A: No, they drew pictures of animals on sides of caves

Alternatively
A: No, the women did

Oh dear, what a silly question! By the way, why were you playing children's trivia pursuits?
