Daily Quiz anyone?

[easthammer]

"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?"

"SoS I have a ""shrewd"" suspicion that the appeals panel will not accept field mouse if were to receive such an appeal!"

[zebthecat]

8 Pygmy shrew was a guess as I knew they were tiny but not quite how tiny.

[Son of Sam]

"A super six, result! Oh and just in case there is any pleading going on , isn't pygmy shrew the fancy name for a field mouse?"

[easthammer]

"Today's Answers 1.What are swallowtails, monarchs, and viceroys?

[Son of Sam]

"I have a lot of guesses today but I wish to issue a special thanks to Shell ...anyone remember the 3d world wildlife cards from the 60s or 70s? One of these was on it otherwise I wouldn't have had a scoobie on that one * Prepares for some serious pleading* Oh and thanks East, was just re-watching some old footage of ungulates at various Cheltenham festivals when your quiz popped up"

[geoffpikey]

"Hopefully 5 or 6 plus some wild guesses. Only absolutely sure of 3.Can see a lot of pleading later: ""is xxxx precise enough?"""

[zebthecat]

7 I think plus one educated guess. Not the foggiest on 2 of them.

[easthammer]

"1.What are swallowtails, monarchs, and viceroys? 2. What mammal has an American, Pine, Beech, Sable and Fisher varieties 3. The mango forests of which country is the home of the proboscis monkey? 4. What type of animal is an Aye-Aye 5. What do the following have in common, Sugar gliders, Cuscus, Koalas? 6. What type of animal is a Red Colobus? 7. What type of animal is a rifleman? 8. In which continent (apart from Antarctica)would you not naturally find any ungulates 9. What is the world's largest land mammal? 10. What is the world's smallest mammal?"

"Good afternoon I have updated the scores from yesterday and I have also amended them due to the fact that I missed reporting last Sunday's round. Think they are now correct Geoff Pikey

[DiCaniosLefty]

Only bloody 2 today

[zebthecat]

"Oh, up to 6 now. Thanks VAR"

[Pee Wee]

Even though I said Jupiter if Saturn is now seen as having more I’m happy to not have the point. And yeah I meant powder... it was just guessing. I don’t deserve anything

[easthammer]

"Geoff P I am never afraid to admit to my inadequacies these questions were written long before 2019 You and others having Jupiter may score a point and despite being overruled by VAR those who got a point for Saturn may on this occasion keep it. Pee Wee Did you mean Powder? In any case, it seems that I don't have a new lifelong friend as I doubt there are many who would clean their teeth with it. Unless they left the dentures in their pocket in an item of clothing in the wash."

[geoffpikey]

"Just looked up. Saturn had more moons discovered only LAST OCTOBER (2019), thus overtaking Jupiter. Sneakily up to date, given previous Question referred to Burma! Hhaha. We've been mugged. :-) cheers east."

[Pee Wee]

“I will accept both dancer and toothpaste as being correct.” **punches the air** Now let me have washing power for the advert and we’ll be friends for life

[Pee Wee]

Paul would have been alive same time

[easthammer]

I will accept both dancer and toothpaste as being correct.

[Pee Wee]

Yeah I had Jupiter too I’d definitely let you have toothpaste - but then I’m not the adjudicator

[easthammer]

Yes PeeWee Barsabbas and Mathias were different people what I was trying to say there is three variations to the name Barsabbas. I think there might be a school of thought that both became apostles and if Barsabbas was in fact Barnabas he ended up travelling with Paul. All a bit confusing. Particularly given Paul was much later I believe.

[geoffpikey]

"5. If you accept ""toothpaste"" as the product. I had no recall of the BRAND being Gibbs. (Can you still buy Gibbs? If so, they should advertise!) Likewise, Mr Bojangles just ""dancer'. Was sure the planet was Jupiter but never mind."

[The_Phantom]

3 for me

[Pee Wee]

Sorry 6 7 if you let me have dancer

[Pee Wee]

7 8 if you let me have dancer (I didn’t put ‘tap’) Also I was pretty sure it was a toss up between Barsabbas and Matthias over whom they cast lots and Matthias won. Different people

[easthammer]

Sorry I meant Q9
