Re: Daily Quiz anyone?
Sorry chaps, bozo here didn't notice that question 20 had slipped onto the next page of my word document and I didn't notice when posting, so give yourselves all a point for the non existant Q20. I'll be impressed if anyone knew it.
If anybody has got a favourite subject (bit like Mastermind) that they would like me to do a quiz on let me know. Was thinking for a bit of fun if we had several personal subjects we could have a bit of a competition so when it's your particular subject day you would score 1 point for a correct answer and others 2 and then add up totals at the end of the week or whatever it is. Don't make it too difficult for me though as I would have to find the questions,,,,,and answers!
Have a good weekend everyone.
