oberon Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 No big secret as to who I am, I just don't post that often - I think I've only posted in driving in France and B&B to date - but I read a lot of postings and couldn't resist the quiz. Don't know if I dare have a go today - I think yesterday must have been beginner's luck.

Will Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Sorry John, just done it. Hope you manage to beat my score, though it was nice nice to be briefly top, after missing the fact yesterday that it was timed, so did it in between other tasks and took forever.Yes, they are different questions. Out of curiosity I asked a friend to do it, and she told me about a couple of difficult questions, and when I got to do it there was a whole new set of questions. So even if I had wanted to cheat I couldn't. I'm sure there must be a way though - stopping the timer and googling all the answers perhaps?

Scarlett Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Too many questions on the Labour party for me. How was I supposed to know how John Precott laughed in the face of old Labour in 2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 [quote user="Russethouse"]This might be fun to try - its an online quiz with questions that change every day. I have set it up so that it 'should' be a mix of French and UK based questions, but if the level is wrong I can alter it.You have to register the first time, then should be able to go straight in. One feature of the Quiz is that once you have submitted your answers, you get your score and a brief explanation about each question.Please let me have some feedback on this - if you like it, too difficult, too easy [:(] etcThis is the link:http://my.funtrivia.com/tournament/Living-France-Quiz--Just-for-Fun-52151.html[/quote] If nothing else it certainly occupied a dull 1/2 hour in the office at lunchtime... On the whole fairly easy, but then it is only easy if you know all the answers... Very informative... Maybe a more balance half and half questions France/UK... though I know how hard quizzes are to set up. Can't wait for the new quizz tomorrow!... More!...

Will Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 The questions I got today seemed to be mostly about France, but with the odd Northern Ireland and UK geography/politics one thrown in. But as we know, we don't all get the same questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 I had to pick categories and its just a random selection from those groups, in order to be fair I ticked Scotland, Ireland and Wales as well as Uk......which is where I fell down this morning [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINKLE Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 [:)]I had a good day the first day, the next was rubbish and today I'm back on track - that's the way it goes. Wish I could have questions on France all the time - but that wouldn't be fair for the people who live in Britain and only visit France occasionally. Don't start trying to please everyones question preferences - you'll never do it! It's fine the way it is Gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 What I thought I would do is give this selection a month then have a look at changing one or two categories, although it will still be French/ English based.I do another one that the company provide themselves but its very 'transatlantic', questions about baseball teams, US TV shows etc..............
