I only saw this thread due to the app update but I loves a quiz. The quiz has been going for 200 odd seasons, so since about 1817. We follow ant time though, so a season lasts a week. New quiz will start on Monday but the questions will be available Sunday afternoon onwards. Edited December 13, 2017 by welshbairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 A guess-tastic 8 for Thursday. Even got the Aussie question right - 2 days of reading the sports pages has obviously been time well spent. I thought Manzini wrote the Pink Panther music?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Knew 5. Elimination and guesswork combine to get 9/10. Just the (presumably) Aussie sport one letting the side down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 5 / 10 for Thursday. A tough nut to crack. No guesses forthcoming. ......The Cobra Tynieness was drinking earlier has clearly had no detriment to his score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked how many words are in the King James Bible. Cardi gave a huge clue that he asked the question a few months ago but unfortunately neither team can remember that far back. The answer is apparently 783,187. AFJ got in early claiming he thought he had this question in a pub quiz recently. He thought it was in the high 20000's so went for 28000 and added 982 for good measure giving a total of 28982. Tynieness plumped for a nice round 500000 and despite being over quarter of a million words out, tynieness goes into the hat for the quarter final draw. Hard lines to AFJ as his cup score would have won any other tie but thats the way the cookie crumbles in the cup. The quarter final draw was help under the usual script supervision and brought out the following ties. Quiz will be up on Friday. Dyl v Helpma SlipperyP v LiviLion The Captain v Cowden0 Kincardine v Tynieness News reaches the alang1993 office that he is out the cup despite getting a higher score than Dyl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
