Congratulations to everyone's favourite Cardinal on winning tonight's online quiz.

50 questions on a timer, very good format , under pressure to answer, bonus for answering quickly.

Anyway @Cardinal Richelieuwon @Bully Wee Villawas 2nd and I came a close 3rd.  I was robbed

A big thanks to that fanny @The Captainwho rang me halfway through fucking up my screen for two questions.

Incidentally what type of question is what school did stuart bloody hosiery go to?

The cardinal showed an interest in the format and up to 50 players can play

Who fancies it one evening?  The quiz that is not anything else.

 

Might be better than that aborted quiz I got the dates wrong for. Plus we don't have to look at each others' ugly fizzogs.

5 out of 10 for Thor's Day. 

And it's not Avagadro's constant, it's AvOgadro's constant  (Helpma will back me up on this one). I'd have got that question right if they'd got the spelling correct. 

To show how ahead of the curve we were in M'well in the 1970s, those of us who did Higher Chemistry called it Avocado's constant.  Mind you, none of us had every tried that 'pear'.  45 years on and every greasy spoon in London has ditched egg and chips for avocado on toasted sourdough with a poached egg on top.

Anyway, 7 for Thur.

And having checked one of the answers I got wrong seems to be right. Harrumph.

Which Q was that?

9 for me.  'Dodgeball' was something we played at the BB.  How they can make a film out of it is a mystery.

I think the NZ answer is incorrect. Wasn't sure whether I should say in case it was worked out differently to the source I checked, or in case they fixed the answer by morning and people thought I was trying to lead them astray.

Edit: though it may be correct after all so feel free to ignore this...

 

I think Christchurch is second biggest. Wikipedia seems to agree.

This link shows the quiz as being correct though...

You have my sympathy and I should revise my right wrong answer.

I may have been talking shite anyway as per a different link someone just sent to me! I'll revise my initial post as don't want to make someone guess wrongly because of me.

Are you sure you're not John Nelms?

A frankly frightful 5 for Friday.  Too many wrong answers to contemplate

Its an excellent expose of the world of competitive dodgeball in the US.  Well worth a watch if you're into sports documentaries.

Well I bought @MSUbook (though haven't read it yet) so will trust you on the film. If it's on Netflix or wherever I'll give it a watch this weekend  - and blame you if it's shite.
