Daily Quiz anyone?

"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?"

"15. If its a point pet type of tooth (got all 4 of those) Knew the stegosaurus/ tyrannosaurus fact. (And re-read it yesterday coincidentally) love facts about time and dinosaurs and space. I can't comprehend some of the times and distances. Us humans (especially ""evolved"" humans) have been on this planet a blink of an eye. And what an arrogant species we are look what we've done to it in a couple of hundred years. Anyway that's enough philosophy from me."

"Thanks for doing that Cough. A poor nine for me, rushed into a few without thinking! A bit of pointless but fascinating silly trivia as I spent the day researching more quizzes. Did you know that the time difference between when Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex walked the earth is greater than the time difference between Tyrannosaurus Rex and today! FMOB.,"
