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?"

"easthammer 6:44 Sun Jan 3 Thanks, btw, east. My average is purely perseverance and being ""regular"". Never got a 10. Great thread, though. I have genuinely learned things. Or had vague notions confirmed/trashed!"

"7 points, if Rozzer and Nozzer = 2. Otherwise 6. Messed up on Dover. Had Windsor, but I guess that's biggest INHABITED... in a field of 1."

"A mere 2 unless you give me half a point for the answer ""Norris McWhirter and his brother?!"" Beginning to regret joining up I'm bloody hopeless unless it's sport or TV and Films!!"
