eckthearab Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Well after 4 consecutive 7's my hopes were up for another decent score. Well it wasn't to be [emoji22] A shitey 4 to end the week. Knew the 4 with no guesses. Loquacious, mountaineering, Lichtenstein and religious building. Best of lol for those with cup ties this weekend. International football tournaments as a quiz topic would be my suggestion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Right. I'll do the cup first. I had 8 topic suggestions (including 2 from people not in the competition!)... some of them were quite specific, others more general. I've tried to make them as fair as possible, but if you have any complaints, ask me for my premium-rate telephone number! https://www.qzzr.com/c/quiz/311979/diddly-dee-jam-jar-trophy As usual, if you're in the quarter-finals, PM me your score by Monday lunchtime. If you're not, you can post it here, but don't give away any of the answers!

Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 16, 2016 Author Share Posted December 16, 2016 Still a few results to come in the league so no updates to the trophy cabinet yet. In the Premier League, WRK is hot-favourite to win another title, unless Alang1993 sobers up and posts a monster score. Down at the bottom, not quite sure what to do about Deej. I know he's busy with exams, and is struggling even with simple addition at the moment, but I guess rules is rules and he gets relegated if he doesn't post his scores!

Assuming he achieves more than 4, I'll be in the play-off so I'll need someone to kindly post a question / quiz (perhaps Edmund could dust off his infernal clouds quiz!).

Eednud Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Finland is a Nordic country but not Scandinavian since Swedish rule ended in 1809. Surely the bit of Finland at the north-west sandwiched between Sweden and Norway is part of the Scandinavian peninsula and so it's Scandinavian? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the term Scandinavian involves sharing a nearly identical language. Finnish is utterly different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scandinavia is more of a cultural term than strictly geographical. The Scandinavian countries share a Viking heritage as well as written history and folklore, Finland was never part of that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
