Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Cheers guys. That was fun. Might do it again in a couple of weeks if you're willing. Here's the final league tables (only top 10 sadly). Hearty Congratulations to Bully Wee Villa who gets a +1 in his cup column!!!! Well done the Captain for beating DC99 (Tynierose), and well done to Shangalang1993 for giving away one of the questions on the Zoom chat. In other news, who the f**k is Big Bad Boris?

kingjoey Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Was an enjoyable way to spend half an hour. Thanks for organising and the winner was never in doubt. Well done Bully Wee Villa. Would do that again (if somebody else does the organisation!). My wife wasn’t keen on all of the swearing when I got one wrong.

Spring Onion Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Wheels came of my game about 18 or 19 questions in, made quite a few stupid mistakes by not reading correctly. Good quiz and really enjoyed watching a quiz legend romp to the title. Well done to the winner and the quiz master. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks all, didn't know I was gonna get a score added on my quiz league column. The day just gets better and better! Thanks Cardinal for organising. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite enjoyable. High praise Yeah, that multiple correct answers one ... I didn't realise you had to click submit. I'll probably miss them out next time. They do sort out the men from the boys as the probability of guessing 2 answers correctly is obviously lower than a single answer question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesP_81 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Quite enjoyable. High praise [emoji4] Yeah, that multiple correct answers one ... I didn't realise you had to click submit. I'll probably miss them out next time. They do sort out the men from the boys as the probability of guessing 2 answers correctly is obviously lower than a single answer question. They certainly sort out the folk that read the question from the folk that are going for the quickest answer! Was flying along nicely in the maestro's slipstream untill a few multiple choice ones in quick succession sent me spiralling back into the pack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, as I was saying to the Zoomers, it's better to just go with your instinct in the first couple of questions (that nets you 8-9 points for a correct answer), rather than pontificate (mon the Pontiff) on the correct answer and only get 2-3 points. Which means next one I do, I will DEFINITELY add more trick questions. But cheers to @Perkin Flump (took me a while to tag you until I realised I was typing Merkin Flump) for offering to do the next one.

Yeah I wasn't sure of the rate that the points decreased so was trying mostly to get in within the first second, which led to several missed multiple answers, or ones that a minute or so of deliberation would have led to the correct answer! Is an excellent format certainly a very 'cheat proof' quiz, disappointed at the lack of Japanese Island questions tho! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making all the questions link to each other actually made it easier, cos I knew that I had to make up a question about a specific subject rather than just having a blank sheet of paper. All the images / videos you saw took about an extra hour to do, but they're definitely not necessary. Just write the question + answers in Word, then you can copy and paste it into the site. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never came up with a quiz before, I didn't think it would be a half hour affair, will have a look at trying to make one up maybe in the future. I liked this format as it puts you under pressure and you can whip through the questions at a good pace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I might knock a quiz together if ever my employer tell me I have to go back to work as will be looking for ways to kill time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
