Frankie S Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Back to Earth with a bump after a good week. 4, all guesses. A couple of educated guesses but knew none of them for sure. Readers invariably make the mistake of pegging the difficulty level off the scale. Making the questions harder and more obscure doesn't make them better. An average of 3 for a 10 question quiz with 4 options per question is about what you'd expect if everyone was randomly guessing every question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Six. That'll do me for a Friday. Agree with Frankie that the readers struggle to peg a decent difficulty, and personalize their quizzes. Anybody want to bet against today's setter being an ex matelot who's just had a Caribbean holiday?

Bully Wee Villa Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Statistically the chances of getting 0/10 are one in 1,048,576 so, in many ways, yours is the most impressive score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swings and roundabouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermik Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ooft. 6. should have read the last question first and worked it all from there. Did not want to change my answers to cheat though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Ten! The last question makes it too easy though. I don't like the connections ones. Would've only got about six otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Seven. Then saw final question, which made no difference, really. Apart from getting the last one. Eight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
