I suppose the very fact that we are discussing this on a bulletin board – rather than via postal correspondence – offers tentative support to Io’s implication that snail-mail faces terminal decline. (I wonder if anyone still particpates in games of correspondence chess these days?!)

Personally I do recall having seen Q1 used in exams, but not QU1. Then again (as befits my Bash Street alias) it was also pretty unusual for me to actually start with Question 1 anyway! Cheers.
