If Pointless asked 100 Tax Inspectors......

Pointless is a popular British TV quiz show where contestants try to find the most obscure correct answers to general knowledge questions. 

The aim is to score the fewest points, with the best answers being those that no one else has thought of. 

Normally the questions are tested on a random group of 100 people.

But imagine if the questions were tested on HMRC staff.

Alexander Armstrong might then have to say:

"We asked 100 tax inspectors to name an obscure expense that qualifies for tax relief"

What might be the pointless answers?

Other questions that might be asked of the same group of tax inspectors include:

"We asked 100 tax inspectors to name their favourite Chancellor"

"We asked 100 tax inspectors to identify their least favourite tax loophole?"

"We asked 100 tax inspectors to name their favourite tax case"

What might be the pointless answers in each case do you think?
