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?"

"1% club Like the show the % allocated to each question is the amount of people that can generally solve it. Unlike the show I'm not going to be enforcing a 30 second limit per question (though you probably shouldn't take the piss until you get to the harder ones). You'll also not get eliminated for a wrong answer. It's simply 1 point for each one you get right. 90% Literally speaking, which of these ends quickly BREAKFAST or DINNER 80% Fiona and James are married. Fiona is grumpy ever day that has an s in it.

"Some good scores there, thought it might be a toughie. Used to love Question of Sport back in the day. Always remember Emlyn Hughes thinking a picture of the Princess Royal was jockey John Reid, then weeks later she appeared on the show much to Emlyn's embarrassment. Saw him in an Evening With Emlyn Hughes once, a charity thing, a really nice guy actually. Sadly only a few months later he was diagnosed with the brain tumour that killed him. Great shame."
