3. All companies with over 250 employees reported on their gender pay gap this week. The figures reveal men are paid more than women in 7,795 out of 10,016 companies and public bodies in Britain, based on the median hourly pay. What is the gender pay gap at Anchor?

71.8% (women earn 28% in the pound)

8.7% (women earn 91p in the pound)

0% (men and women are paid equally)

22.2% in favour of women (women make £1.22 for every pound a man makes)

Ryanair have a gender pay gap of 71.8%, Wagamama have a 22.2% gap in favour of women, and McDonald's pay men and women equally. Note that these figures do not represent equal pay for equal work, but they do indicate systemic problems across businesses in the way men and women are paid. Anchor's gap is pretty tiny though - we're definitely amongst the best in this area!

5. The very top of the empire state building was originally built for what purpose?

For aesthetic purposes

A bird sanctuary

An airship dock

A helipad

Using the 200ft tip of the Empire State Building, airships like the Graf, almost 800 feet long, would “swing in the breeze and the passengers go down a gangplank”; seven minutes later they would be on the street. Sadly, it was determined that this was fairly impractical, and no airships ever actually docked there.
