In January 2015, which 60+ year old celebrity beat the former 29 year old Golden Gloves Champion of California at a charity  boxing match?

My guess was Mickey Rourke, but that was in 2014.

Just googled it and it is Mickey Rourke.

So sagc has not only come up with an ungoogleable answer that is readily googleable he has got the bloody dates wrong.  He is just always wrong about everything that guy.

Refs for Ali's five defeats.

You knew there would be an Ali bias in the Q, you sneaky bastard.


Three clues. 1) Mercante 2) Five of them 3)You!

I didn't know the answer for sure though. Until I googled...

Those aren't questions, so surely anything will do.

What are they if not questions ?

Each has a logical clear answer that I hope can't be googled.

Well a question has a ? after it, does it not? Yours give no indication as to what you're looking for. Even if you put a ? after each, they'd be terrible questions.

Logical and clear.

I thought the Q before them indicated they were questions.

They are hard which was what the opening poster seemed to be looking for.

Lapdog?

Doesn't work, does it?

He's looking for questions, not words.

Cryptic crossword clues are kind of ungoogleable.  Like I say there is never anything stopping someone from going on forums like this and getting hundreds or more peoples' brains on the case.

You say its a local charity.

You could quite easily set questions that only local people might know the answer to.  Questions that would be too provincial for google to be interested.

You could have a round of photos of local places, not showing the whole scene, but more obscure ones….parts of road/street signs…parts of pub signs….benches…bridges...trees…. beds of flowers along side roads….take
photos of parts rather than the whole.  Go out with your camera and get creative!  Could use effects apps or similar to create various effects on the photos to make them more difficult to get.

@Jack Hacksaw has the right answer.

You can also nip to the library for local history or the local paper. Maybe include a question about the charity as well. Is the local football team lower-division?

BUT don't overdo it. If the questions are too hard, people will give up. At least 80 per cent probably should be found on google.
