New Daily Quiz

[GlosRFC]

Cheers BigC. I might have a look anyway but I think you're probably right. After all, I figure that if Vegy can get 45% of them right, then it must be pitched at the right kind of level :D

If it's any consolation, I've had to guess at most of them too.

[GlosRFC]

Well done to Piggy...10 correct answers and a winning daily score of 23 points means he leaps into joint first place along with BigC. They are both closely followed by presto with mathare hot on the heels of this leading bunch.

But it's all to play for still :D

[Win2Win]

Isn't it possible to cheat if your a fast whiz at searching like myself?

[GlosRFC]

Cheating? In a respectable racing forum - surely not.

But give it a go and let's see how much of a whizz you are :D

For those not in the know, you're more than welcome to Google for the answers but be aware that the longer you take to complete the quiz, the lower your daily score is likely to be

[markwales]

Woo Hooo....I'm top for today :D.....but seeing as I#m the only one to complete so far that aint too difficult

[Win2Win]

Times the issue, as I have the odd other thing to do that makes me money :)

[plater]

I'm second :D

[silax]

i'm 4th woohoo

[Fadetoblack]

I googled for one of them on today's quiz but it got me nowhere, so never again. It's a good game but I don't particularly like the format of the quiz the way all the questions re appear and the fact that they're all based on britain to be honest. Also some of them are incorrect...for example, Iceland has the oldest democratic government in the world, not the isle of man....

Anyway, that's my moan over

[Win2Win]

If you know how to use Google to get the best out of it, finding answers is a quick process. I was watching an old version of Mastermind the other week, and was coming up with the answers nearly as quick the person :)

[GlosRFC]

It depends which source you're prepared to believe but both the Icelandic parliament and the Tynwald were established in the 8th Century. I'm not sure how your question was worded but the Icelandic government was suspended during the 18th Century so the oldest continuous parliament would seem to belong to the Isle of Man. You do have the facility to challenge disputed answers on the screen immediately after you've submitted yours.

You shouldn't get the same set of questions each round although it's not impossible that some of them will be repeated because, as you've pointed out, I've asked for questions on British topics so the subset will naturally be smaller than if I'd asked for random questions from the entire database. The rationale is that most people likely to enter are British and will, hopefully, know something about their own country.

In future months I'll widen the choice out and go for more general themes such as music or film and there's nothing to prohibit the use of search engines if you so wish.

Hope that helps.

[Fadetoblack]

Excellent, thanks Glos. You're right about that question so, continuos was the significant word.

[Win2Win]

Does the Icelandic parliamnet sit in the freezer section?

[Fadetoblack]

So my mum says....

[mathare]

Not such a good effort today.

[Fadetoblack]

[piggy]

[vegyjones]

How come Phil still gets 2 points... Ooo

[samantha1303]

[silax]

yep good old phil you can always count on one univercity student to be thinker then the rest of us

[GlosRFC]

In a spirit of solidarity I've decided to join Phil in propping up the rest of the table

[markwales]

7 out of 10 again for me today......7 football questions !!!! one tv, one music and one general knowledge.

The 3 incorrect were all footie based questions.

Will be happy if I can keep getting 7 every day :D

[plater]

1/10 today Can't stand bloody Cricket :D

[mathare]

7/10 for me today.

Got an Eastenders question wrong along with a footy one and a boy band one.

[Littlegaz]

3/10 - lyrics from Scottish folk songs, obscure Scottish Footballers playing for obscure Scottish clubs - hope this was a bad day.

[vegyjones]

Good Grief...

[Fadetoblack]

For some reason all my questions seem to be about Kent. (Unfortunately not Clark Kent)

[Phil]

How have I got 3 points, I only just saw the quiz exsisted 2 minutes ago! I'm pleased with that result

[GlosRFC]

We have a new leader as Presto's consistency sees him leapfrog clear; closely followed by Mathare. These two are starting to set the pace as there's a gap developing between them and Chancer who's fine win yesterday propels him into joint third place with early leader BigC and Sunday's wunderkind, Piggy.
