12 out of 10 - well done!

marky · 02-09-2005, 20:45

i'm going to print out the questions next week to save me going back and forth

Congratulations Angua - I'm not sure what happened to your middle clap, in a manner of speaking - looks fine on the preview

You now have the dubious honour - and boy, have I found out how dubious or what

?? - of preparing next Friday's quiz.

So that leaves us with following unsolved:

1 What's the last sentence of Joseph Heller's classic novel 'Catch 22'?

2 From which record did MÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¦AÃƒÆ’ Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¦RÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¦RÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã ¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â¦S take the 'Pump Up The Volume' sample for their single of the same name? I'll leave you to think about those over the week

Thanks for giving up your Friday evenings for my inaugural quiz

WTG Angua. Well done, there were some stinkers of questions in there.
[ i'll get ya next time

]

Well done Cookie, for your first quiz. As Coggy said it's hard work getting the right blend of questions and difficultly levels, but then it depends on which victims, errrrrr players turn up I suppose.

Simpler to use a tabbed browser, and keep a tab on page 1 of the quiz.

Angua · 02-09-2005, 20:48

Thank you everyone

(I do have several questions ready)

Best part about Matthew Parris he was a speaker at a Lib Dem dinner I attended many years ago.

Thanks MetaWraith - there was me thinking 'oh no - they'll get half of them in 10 mins and the rest within 5 mins of googling!' - you're lucky my train only got in at 6pm so I didn't have time to make them harder

I'm just sorry I couldnt stay for the whole of it, being called away in soon after it started. Mind you the flip side is, i'm glad Graham wasnt there, would probably have got less if he was

Ah, yes, Graham. Sometimes I think he's physically plugged into Google - or do they print out the searches on google and ask him the answers
