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?"

Sorry bit late. A lucky 5 for me with guesses.

[Mad Dog]

Oooooh that's harsh. The irony is I knew you were going for jed trump but the Don is widely acknowledged as the 45th pres

"Rios and Mad Dog cp from wiki ""Grover Cleveland, served two non-consecutive terms and is therefore counted as the 22nd and 24th president of the United States (giving rise to the discrepancy between the number of presidents and the number of persons who have served as president)."" Trump was, therefore, the 44th ""Person"" to become President (albeit the 45th President) So Trump was the correct answer even if Obama plays a mean game of snooker ;)"

"4 Got the link (to be fair, easthammer did practically tell us!) but alas my snooker interest faded after the mid 80s, and my attempts to shoehorn Reardon, Thorburn, Davis and Taylor into the answers didn’t pay off"

[Mad Dog]

"I got the link, but I fucking hate snooker, so know very few players"

[Turpinator]

Seven but like the others I thought it was obama

[Texas Iron]

4 I saw no link What was the link ?

[riosleftsock]

"Same as Mad Dog, either 4 or 5 if you count Obama as Pres 44"

[Far Cough]

4 but I was snookered on the link

[Mad Dog]

I got a 4 according to your answers. However trump was 45rh pres. Obama was 44.
