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?"

Good questions. I predict a fair 5. (Winging it a bit on a couple.) Three strikes... and I'm out.

5 for me too.

[DiCaniosLefty]

That would be a 5 for me thanks east. I used to love watching Red Dwarf. Smeghead!

[easthammer]

"Far Cough, I am happy to allow a point for ""Main Sequence"" because as Mad Dog says technically it is correct. Although of course, it is a technically correct answer for 90% of stars.;)"

7 (remember the Len Barrie song. It’s used to be belting out when me mum and dad had parties indoors when I was a kid).

[Far Cough]

"Mad Dog, cheers for that, over to you easthammer?"

[Mad Dog]

"Far cough. I think you should get a point for that as you're technically correct. It's currently a yellow dwarf as it is in its main sequence. It will expand to become a red giant. I think you can claim a point. I'm sure easthammer would oblige Also despite being called a yellow dwarf star, its actually white. Love a bit of astronomy."

"Nil 0 Too late to the game. Shame, as I would have scored quite high.., but thank you Easthammer. Bit random: met Joanna Page once. Adorable. Irons!"
