Cardinal Richelieu Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Ha. 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.theguardi...iz-4-april-2014 edit: feel free to call me an arsehole if you get a crap score Your Eminence, Would I use such intemperate language to describe a man of the cloth? No, I was happy with my six points, which may be one or two more than I got when I first tried it last year. I remember q. 4 really giving me the willies - and have not been able to listen to Slade ever since without being reminded of it (fortunately not a common event). Incidentally, why is the 'average score' given always a point less than indicated by the graphics alongside? Answering that question correctly will earn you total absolution. Yours, AWAK I've no idea I'm afraid. You might have to escalate your query to a bishop or the Big Man himself. Welcome to the forum btw. I have a question for you as well. What does AWAK mean? A cursory Google search suggests Automated Wearable Artificial Kidney but I'm sure that's not it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonatanik Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Welcome to the forum btw. I have a question for you as well. What does AWAK mean? Thank you for the welcome - I appreciate it. As for your question, you will hate me even more if I were to answer it. Let's just say I was trying to keep things briefer than in my first post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 5/10 knew 4 thought I knew more. Same here - it thought I was in for a decent seven or so, but poor guessing and just being wrong meant five. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
