Daily Quiz anyone?
|
|
If you are stuck at home and bored like me.
How about exercising the old grey cells?
I have for a number of years run quiz nights and couple of times a year. I was due to do one tomorrow which is now cancelled So I have a bank of questions sitting in my computer's hard drive. They are quite eclectic in their nature.
I am thinking I could put up a set of questions for which you write down your answers. After 30mins or so I will put up the answers. DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS. before I post the right answers.
You mark your own answers and post your score.
I will then record the scores and at the end of the "lockdown" we will see who is WHO's brainbox supreme. Obiviously no looking up the answers (you only cheat yourselves)
Word of warning these won't be easy questions as they have been devised for teams of six. Forming teams on here might be too problematic. So I'll try to pick out the easier questions.
Any interest?

Back to reality with one and that was Ben Nevis! Should have known Lowestoft as I lived a few miles away, and should have got Scaffel Pike. Thought Bristol was the City in Somerset! Idiot!

7 - thanks to the link.
I'm not sure you are correct about the answer to the Village People question, I put down In the Navy as it was obvious to the link. But that was still in the 70s and they kept going after and had a few more releases I think. Maybe not top ten, but still hits.
