Ludo*1 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That's right folks, it's back. Same premise as always, simply PM me your answers and the results shall be up from a week today with your points tallied. Week 1: 1. What did Babe Ruth famously keep under his cap? 2. Which male film star's first name is Hawaiian for cool breeze over the mountains? 3. Which former political leader married Sarah Gurling? 4. What was Elvis Presley's twin brother's first name? 5. In Samuel Beckett's play, what are Vladimir and Estragon doing? 6. During Dundee's -25 point deduction season, who memorably came out of retirement to score a last minute, dramatic winner? 7. What is the capital of Barbados? 8. Kevin Spacey is the star of one of Netflix's original programmes, what is the show called? 9. Where is the world's biggest prison camp? 10. Which author wrote the novels Jurassic Park and Timeline? Google can aide you with these questions and there's nothing I can do to stop it, but I'd discourage you from doing so as it's only a bit of fun. The difficulty of the questions for next week will be scaled dependent on the results from this one ie, if I need to make it easier/harder I shall. ETA: Please don't post your answers in the thread as that just ruins it. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Good range of questions, anyone that gets a 10 here would have to be a master of all trades. I'm confident of 5, would be happy with one fluked guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Great to have a quiz up and running again, but that was a hellish first round for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on my name, then when it takes you to my profile, to the right you should see a bar that says: 'Send Me a Message'. ETA: I'm noticing that there may well be a problem with the way I've worded one of the questions. Happy to take responsibility if I've made the faux pas, but whatever the case, if I have worded it incorrectly, it is still worded incorrectly for everyone!

Tommy Nooka Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I actually only know one of the answers for certain(because i've read one of the books and seen the movie of the other one) and possibly one other. And I thought I was good at this trivia shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question 9 is a bit nasty, and I doubt many will get it right but that was the only one not made up by me and instead whipped off of a Trivia Pursuit card so it better not be letting me down!

Ludo*1 Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Had 12 responses so far which is fantastic considering when I first started a weekly quiz in 2010, the very first week I only received 4 sets of answers. Granted that grew to about 25 at its peak, but for 12 sets of answers within less than 3 hours is quite some going. Cheers and keep them coming in.

Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'm sure I've got 4 that are right 2 I think I knew but could be wrong. One answer I knew thanks to pointless game app and another because of a programme on channel 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 3 I'm confident with. The rest were guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
