Dee Man Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Can't believe I accidentally hit the wrong answer five times. 5/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Guessometer back on track 8/10 Knew three and educated guess on two. Fluked sports questions and singer, cause I've heard of her on here, I think. Book and PM wrong. Will it be enough to avoid a quick return to the didd...Beazer Homes League? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Rose from my sick bed to score 6/10 - what a hero. Only certain of one (large book) but 5 years of struggling with Latin paid off for nr 4, and a couple of shrewd guesses and a couple of inspired guesses gave me 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you call a 50/50 when two are clearly wrong and you don't know the answer but one seems 'righter' than the other? Obviously not a 75/25...but maybe a 60/40? Was that the characters in a book question? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish teams should get precedence over NI, English, Thai, Aussie or Swiss teams anyway! It really is quite the melting pot the Beazer Homes League, especially since all the foreign teams have failed to gain promotion! In the top tier, we're missing quite a few key results.. but Alang1993 has secured another title. Kincardine is looking nervously over his shoulder and Arabdownunder claims another 2nd. BigBo's tracksuit is on a bit of a shoogly peg (assuming the other results come in).

It's always gratifying seeing all the results in before I've even crawled out my bed.

Frankie S Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) A thoroughly average 6 to end a thoroughly average week. Knew 5 (large book, Daisy Buchanan, summum bonum, neon, Ibsen). If a monkey was hitting my iPad randomly, I'd expect him to land one guess in 4. By the judicious application of logic, reason and a modicum of background knowledge, I've refined that to around 1 in 5. Unless it's Aussie sport, when it's more like 1 in 10.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Had to dinghy the Canadian quiz for the Diddly Dee Jam Jar Trophy... the formatting was crap (you had to scroll right to press submit each time) and from the looks of it, mobile users might have run into problems. Shame, since I got the first three right. (Here it is if you want to try it: http://www.macleans.ca/news/need-to-know/take-our-trivia-test-and-see-if-you-can-beat-our-genius/) So it's back to our spiritual home, The Guardian. They've actually got a terrific number of quizzes (3,716 at the last count). I'm going to avoid sports / politics / film specific quizzes, and go for one of the older daily ones (before this thread started and before I started doing them). https://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2013/sep/18/daily-quiz-18-september-2013 Here's a reminder of the draw... Tynieness vs WILLIEA Die Hard Doonhamer vs Cardinal Richelieu Blackislekillie vs Scotfree Arabdownunder vs Bully Wee Villa Leeds Saint vs G_Man1985 Ross. vs Peasy23 Edmund vs Jacksgranda WhiteRoseKillie vs Dee_62 Alang1993 vs Frankie S BigBo10 vs Supermik PM me your scores by Monday lunchtime. Good luck!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Canadian quiz worked OK on iPad 67% or 20/30. Although he's a DAB have to look after us Aussie quizzers and point out that Arabdownunder scored 8/10 in today's quiz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
