This has the makings of an extremely esoteric pub quiz, if we're not careful!

Here is one, adapted from a phone enquiry I dealt with this morning this 
morning: 

You have two appliances. One is marked "110 - 230V ~50Hz" and the other is 
marked "110/230V ~50Hz". What do you look for on one which is missing from the 
other? 

I'll let the group answer. 

Nick.
