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?"

"zico I can do it tomorrow if you want, or whatever day suits you, just not this friday."

[zico]

"riosleftsock Cracking idea, let me know when you want to do it and great. Same with anyone else. I'm just helping east out so certainly don't mind others doing some. I've done enough to cover this week and next so far. I used to create pub quizzes years ago but forgot how difficult it is to get difficulty levels right and you do tend to sway more to subject matter you know a bit about as it's easier to double check the answers."

[riosleftsock]

"zico I can do the USA one if you want, I'd quite enjoy that. Been reading and watching loads about american history the last few years."

[Texas Iron]

Sure will check them out... Cheers... ?ü§†?ü§†
