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?"

"You could also have said that Mickey was originally called Mortimer so that guy was technically wrong twice! Re your brilliant quiz yesterday I sent it to my ex who loves quizzes and she got about the same score as me, and she wouldn't believe me on some until she looked them up. She has been a Sex and the City fan for years and always thought it was Sex IN the City. I looked up the Mandela Effect and it's fascinating and probably why so many misquote film quotes. Lines such as - ""Greed is good."" (Wall Street), ""You dirty rat!"" (The Public Enemy), ""Hello, Clarice."" (The Silence of the Lambs) were never actually said but we think they were."
