63336 celebrity answers with Paul Sinha

Paul Sinha was the winner of "We Need Answers", the inaugural Edinburgh Cup that 63336 sponsored at the Edinburgh Festival.

Battling through the rounds to face last Josie Long in the final (last year's Edinburgh's best new act), Paul won the coveted top prize due to his mathematical skills (ability to count baked beans), physical prowess (spitting ping pong balls into the audience), and answering skills (he's registered as a GP).

We grabbed hold of him after the two hour grueling final (which started at midnight) to ask him a few, final questions.
