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?"

[Mad Dog]

I have no recollection of that whatsoever. Just googled it and still don't recognise it... and I ate a LOT of chocolate ad a kid. That's why I couldn't work out how 4 was related to the others.

Interesting stats Thanks ?üòä

"Texas This is the best I can do. Easthammer designed the spreadsheet and with my numpty knowledge even adding columns and new players whilst keeping formulas was a pain!! However I scrolled across and this seems to update from East's original but I obviously didn't link him to any formula when I added him. Apologies to East. I haven't included everyone but I think it's skewed because if someone doesn't play I place a zero down I've just noticed it assumes a game is played. ...............................Total........Av.2021....Games Played Texas Iron..............1768.........6.45...............274 Turpinator..............1437..........5.44..............264 Mad Dog
