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?"

"5, also I could only remember it was Congo, I presumed the volcano was called Um Bongo. I stand corrected."

"easthammer 7:49 Tue May 25 Thank you, wouldn't have had a clue otherwise. Can't remember hearing the Roman God of Fire either. At least I knew Java as I've got the DVD!Great quiz.... No didn't get lost but had to pull over in a small car park and honestly wanted to leave the car there! Cars must go over the edge because it can be impossible to see and you are driving a manual the other way around. Was relieved when we got back safe! Went up in the cable car and the views were unbelievable. Still have it on video somewhere. What amazed me is how out of breath you get up there by just walking because the air is so thin. Can see why Nigel Benn trained out there."

Syd I'll allow a half for the Canaries

[easthammer]

"Zico you can have a half-point for Congo Volcano Did you get lost driving up Teide? I have done it many a time and it is pretty straightforward from the South of Tenerife. Mind you I have only been up the Cable Car to the ""Top"" on one occasion. Always long queues."

[Syd Puddefoot]

"Four, unless I am granted an extra half for Canary Island without being more specific. Thought I had never heard of a volcano called Calzone!"

[zico]

"5 unless I get a half for ""Congo Volcano""! Mount Teide was an experience, especially after deciding to drive through clouds on a road with a sheer drop. Never been so terrified!!"
