Jacksgranda Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Rubbing my hands with undisguised glee at tomorrow's guaranteed ten-spot. (It's not mine. I've just got a feeling) Is that between us all? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Is that between us all? Chortle. I've got a cunning wheeze. The first person to post and take the quiz could post all the answers surreptitiously (in spoilers so as not to attract attention). Then the rest of us dullards could breeze in with a 10/10, push up the average and make the rest of the British public feel pretty damned stupid as they're scrabbling about in the rough answering questions about Greek architecture and authors of books you've never heard of. I might even set my alarm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2015/feb/06/daily-quiz-6-february-2015 6/10 and quite pleased as I was only sure about 1. As an extra hint to help propel you all to 10/10, the Irish politician is from the failed statelet originally rather than the RoI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 (edited) Six here as well. Looks like the new guess-o-meter was a good buy... ETA: Just realised it's Friday. Much happier now.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 6 out of 10. Not bad for a Friday quiz Can't believe "Orbital" wasn't a choice for the "Waving not Drowning" question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 A typical Friday 3/10 although thought it would have been more. Nothing correct between 6 & 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonatanik Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Dear Cardinal Richelieu, Below is what you wrote about the quiz I set for last March 21st. Was it the fact you only got five right that got your goat so much or did you have some deeper grievance? I tried to cover a wide range of topics, avoid pop culture and other ephemera and also include some interesting little factoids. And you give it the hairdryer treatment! So impress me with your intellect; show me how a quiz of your devising would be so much better. Yours in faith, Arsehole with a keyboard http://www.theguardi...z-21-march-2014 The Friday Quiz is an abomination. They let any arsehole with a keyboard pose questions. Usually it's a Guardian set quiz. Kudos to anyone who gets 10/10. 5 out of 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonatanik Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 P.S. 9 today. Best Friday ever (barring last March 21st)! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 6/10 on the above "arsehole with a keyboard" one and knew 2 from 21 March 2014. Far from the worst Friday one, in my opinion. I have had as low as 1/10 in the past. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair that wasn't a bad quiz for a Friday, only got 4/10 though, so you're still an arsehole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I feel guilty and I take it all back You're indeed right that my annoyance was more at my score rather than the quality of the quiz. It's a bit of a running joke that the Friday quiz is a lot harder than the rest of the week so practically every Friday I think up some petty jibe aimed at the question setter, never dreaming in a million years that they'd be reading this thread! Just did your quiz again and there's a lot of my favourite topics in there, including politics, chemical elements and geography (I really should have done better). In case you don't believe me, here's my attempt from a couple of weeks later. http://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2014/apr/04/daily-quiz-4-april-2014 edit: feel free to call me an arsehole if you get a crap score Edited February 6, 2015 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
