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?"

"3.5 with a half for remembering Wally but but not Funk for the eldest women in space? Which is annoying, not just because it is a sign of increasing age and decrepitude but so much more of the link would have dropped into place had by brain functioned a little better with that basic short term memory task."

5 Films and music not my strengths

"Mad Dog, same here TV and Films (pre 2010) used to be my favourite rounds. Would have been interested to see how many I would have got but it's easy with the answers. Some of those with any more clues it would have given it away. Didn't know Grace Kelly's career was that short though. Rear Window is my favourite."

[Mad Dog]

Zico. It was the Oscars that led me to the right answers. I'm a huge film geek and it's always my favourite round of any quiz.

6. Crossed out James Stewart and replaced him with Gary Cooper. Would not have got Rod Taylor or Jessica Tandy in a month of Sundays and missed the link.

[charlie paynter]

I think I will too. Like a bit of Hitchcock.

[zico]

I haven't seen it but will watch it this week now.

[charlie paynter]

"4 Missed out on the link, although I didn't realise Newman and Andrews had been in a Hitchcock film. Had to look it up - don't think I've ever seen Torn Curtain. Is it any good?"

[zico]

"Impressive Mad Dog, especially getting Ingrid and Grace!"
