There was a picture in Viz of a 10 year old girl who finished it. You got a certificate if you ate the lot.
If I were a similar age once more I’d probably try the curry challenge. Malaysia is geographically close to Bangladesh and similarly hot curries are consumed by folk over there (and their expat populations across Europe).
Not sure if it would be advisable at my age- could equally end up as time for the lone piper (was actually considering asking the Bangladeshi brothers round here if any of them could play the pipes just in case I should keel over suddenly) –
TBH if I went down in such circumstances I wouldn’t be surprised that when the earthly piper walked awa’ into the distance another would reappear outside the WC at the metro station for Purgatory (that I have locked myself into) with the instructions “och, I’ll keep piping ootside the noo, when ye’re done laddie just press the alarm button tae trigger ma pager” so as to drown out the other unseemly noises that would even unnerve the protection angels in the levels above and spare my embarrassment (WC stack pipes conduct noise thought the building) although I should surely be able to negotiate a reduction in the stretch after having already been purged from inside by the cleansing fire…
I am not surprised a young lass managed it, I read the article in your local news picture about the lass who wrote to the chief cop about recruiting Police cats, there was a picture of her sat on a chair training her cat (an Oriental/European hybrid tom cat) to follow a piece of string and she looked like the sort of traditional North European maiden who would be able to herd cats (such as Frøya or European depictions of the Virgin Mary).
Even In ancient times Northumbria (which did then include parts of Scotland) was known for multiculturalism, religious diversity and gender equality and an advanced level of European civilisation compared to elsewhere in the UK – though If she does become a cop in about 15 years (which may not be unlikely) I’d suggest trying to avoid any crime by middle age (hopefully everything will be legal by then or you’ll be old enough to get the lot on prescription).
