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?"

"geoffpikey 4:28 Tue Mar 24 Shit , I have a heap of Miikes ones"

[geoffpikey]

"Don't give answers, you plank. Anyway, you're wrong."

2. Rod Stewart 6. Billy Joel 7. Carl Perkins 8. Bread 9. Bob Dylan 10. The Byrds

[Tomsdad]

I think I might have 5 today!

[zebthecat]

"Yeah I just put someone from the film and a couple of wild guesses. Mandolin Wind indeed, sounds like something even Spinal Tap would think twice about."

[geoffpikey]

"* sorry, meant not all films are based on books!"

[geoffpikey]

"Zeb, I could be wrong but you may be thinking too hard? Not all books are based on films... Perhaps the opposite occured, so if you know about the film...? As said, not guaranteed but it's a guess/memory I am going for. And, as such, I reckon I have 8. Maybe 9. TBC. But with an almost certain misspelling for 1!! Good darts Easthammer: music, I confess, is partly my ""job"". Which is nice."

[zebthecat]

Number 5 is really annoying as I could answer most questions about the film but have no idea who wrote the book.

[zebthecat]

6 or 7 this time.

[Son of Sam]

4/10 wow thought I had a load more of them was expecting 7 or 8 anyway onwards and upwards. Thanks EH

[The Mercernary]

"I did change my mind on 2, so I nearly achieved a giddy 3. At least I've increased my score on the previous quote/unquote round!"

[easthammer]

Mercernary I admire both your persistence and honesty. I did say they wouldn't be easy for individuals. Anyway all questions that you know the answer to are easy and those you don't are hard. Also when I put a quiz together I try to avoid borrowing from pre-written sources so they aren't what might be described as regular quiz questions. Any lack of knowledge is only a lack in regard to things I have found interesting at sometime. The world at large probably cares not what little I know and for sure it is not important.

[zebthecat]

8 1 out of three guesses worked.

[The Mercernary]

#you're - schoolboy error

[The Mercernary]

1 - haha. Glad your syphoning out the difficult questions :O(
