DublinMagyar Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Welcome DublinMagyar. Are you really Hungarian? We're starting a new league on the 1st January where everyone will be on a level playing field... we're also ditching (at least for a trial basis) the Aussie Daily Quiz in favour of one a little closer to home). As well as a surfeit of questions on Aussie sport, politics and TV (understandable), the Australian loved to ask questions starting "On which Japanese island" ... the answer to which was nearly always Honshu. Thanks CR. I'm originally from Maryhill, though I do enjoy a good goulash.Can I assume there will be a link posted to this new quiz you mention? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 4/10 for Thursday, mainly guesses. Knew Q1, and got 6 and 8 by linguistic guesswork. Nice to be able to give clues away when scores don't matter. Not sure it will help though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 8 for Thursday, including one of the two Aussie sports questions. I got the Aussie PM question wrong but recognised it when I saw the correct answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 6/10 for Thursday. Only knew the first one. Aussie sport and politics among the flukes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, it would be a cracking way of me getting my first gold medal ... but yes, I'll begrudgingly post the link along with instructions etc. I'll also rename the quiz thread. Exciting stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it will still be multiple choice and not questions about how many pants you have in your laundry basket/lying on the floor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 7/10 then 5/10. More that I knew this time and only a couple of lucky guesses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 7/10 knew 3. I can’t recall ever hearing or reading anything about the Aussie PM controversy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Four. These pre-season results don't really matter, though. That's what I keep telling myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Well the semi finals are completed. The P&B Cedric Kipre's Xmas quiz has it's finalists.Alang1993 (7+9) v Cowden0 (6+6)This was always going to be a high scoring tight affair. Alang1993 Mr consistency in league and cup, up against Cowden0 the highest scorer in each round so far and the odds on favourite with the bookies. Alang1993 took a slender lead into half time. Cowden0 came out fighting in the 2nd half but left the back door wide open for Alang1993 to smash home an impressive 9 in the 2nd half to be the 1st man into the final.SlipperyP (2+5) v Kincardine (5+7)The 2nd semi final was a 1 sided affair. SlipperyP not celebrating Christmas put him at a massive disadvantage against the ever reliable and solid Kincardine. A valiant effort none the less from SlipperyP but the semis proved a step too far as kincardine goes through to the final.So the final is between Alang1993 and Kincardine. Now becomes a problem. My wife is going in to be induced on Saturday (hence the lack of quizzing action from me this week) which puts a bit of a hole in my plans for the final. I was going to set 20 non multiple choice questions but I don't think I'm going to have time this weekend to do such things. Would @cardinal Richelieu or@tynieness maybe step up and set the final for me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you'll have time when you're smoking your pipe in the hospital car park and letting the womenfolk get on with things? Lame excuse imo.

The DA Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/mind-games/quiz?quizId=8473§ionId=1 Too many Aussie questions and too many 2017 questions. And too many sports questions. 4 for Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Three. Honestly, you'd think the quiz was designed to be taken by Australians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) Conned myself into thinking I was doing quite well. 3/10. Knew 2 and got one of the sport ones because part of the name is about the only one I've heard of.

Eednud Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 5/10 in the pre-season summer heat. Knew who said what, bean and Aussie train. Apart from the train where were the other too many Aussie questions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
