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?"

I got 1

"6 good stuff and thanks for the sycamore seed !!, question re the formation the rock..... I said aging...I would think regardless of how much heat and pressure they are not formed overnight? does that even get 0.5 of a point if not I will happily take the 6 and thanks EH for all the effort"

[geoffpikey]

I'll take SIX. (No hoorays for Henrys.)

[Pee Wee]

SEVEN Best round so far

[easthammer]

I will accept sycamore seed if only for nostalgia sake as I had such a tree in my garden as a kid in E6.

[easthammer]

[zebthecat]

"7 8 if you'll accept winged tree seeds for Whirliigig, had forgotton about the pond skater type thingummy."

[easthammer]

Apologies Comma is correct the surname was wrong in question 7 should have been Loveless not Lovelace. I will listen to appeals particular if you know where George Lovelace went but say to shag Linda :)

[easthammer]

"Gentle reminder please DON'T POST ANSWERS just wait till I do then mark your own answers thanks. Anyway here are the right answers How did you do? 1. What lasted for 12 seconds at Kitty Hawk North Carolina on 17 December 1903?

[Tomsdad]

"Well, that was good while it lasted!"

[geoffpikey]

7 in as much honesty as is possible. Though maybe I'll get a golf question right!

[Pee Wee]

Think I did pretty well today. Although as a pedant I need to point out the golf tournament is The Open not the British Open.

"That'd be telling, though, Zeb. Problem is: can't ""unsee"" ones I may have got wrong but have now had reaffirmed. Not that it matters, of course. But not surprised we're in a bloody state when people can't read. QUIZ LOCKDOWN!!!!!"

[Far Cough]
