Russethouse Posted May 13, 2006 Author Share Posted May 13, 2006 The quiz has 'standings' that run in monthly cycles so I'll probably adjust it at the end of May, I'll have a look and see what other topics there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 If someone has another member of their family who logs in and plays before them, they can then see all the questions, find all the answers and get 10/10 in a very short time.But noone would do that... would they [8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topics may be a bity 'celtic loaded' but is only a bit of fun isn't it ? Nobody is applying to mensa on the basis of it are they ?Don't feel iuncumbent to keep changing it to suit everybody, though slightly changing theme each month might prolong its lifestyle. I can still spell Quetzalcoatl so can we have a month on the Aztecs please ?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[:)]On the whole, it drives me crazy, but it is just a bit of fun. I'm amazed at some peoples consistently high scores, and enjoy spending time thinking how the hell they are pulling it off. People with that level of memory capacity scare me. That means you, Will![:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suandpete Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Yet again a majority of Scottish questions - very odd. Shame I know hardly anything about Scotland really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 [quote user="Opas"]Will, you must have a very responsive mouse and quick reflexes to do the quiz in that time and 10/10 too , well done clever clogs![/quote]Funny you should say that Mrs O, I just got a wireless mouse to use with the laptop and it really is great...Seriously, those questions just happened to be ones that I either knew the answers to or could work out quickly, plus one very lucky guess. It will be back to the normal scores today I think.I'd love too to see questions on the Clangers (or any of the other Smallfilms), 1960s music, Ireland (anything except Wales and Scotland).

Patf Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Who or what are the Clangers? hope you don't include them. Probablyfrom the late 80s-90s when we didn't have a TV. Also pleasedon't put in questions about modern pop music. But I'm really enjoyingthe quizzes - very good idea Gay. It brings out my competitive streakwhich I thought had gone for ever. The speed of the mouse does make adifference. The day I got my best score the page kept jamming up andthe slow speed reduced it. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I have never heard of the Clangers either. I just managed to get ADSL to go faster, now I need a wireless mouse... [8-|]It is a bit of fun Gay [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opas Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Clangers......they were like little sock puppets with big noses, grey/brown in colour and made conversation by a funny whistleing sound, sure someone on here will find a suitable link to them. Very entertaining from what I can remember[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owens88 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Forget 'The Clangers'. The works of Gerry Anderson would be a more general topic (though I have a blind spot through living in Ireland through the Captain Scarlet years). More advanced would obviously be the various Star Trek series - possibly too advanced for here ! (smile). Niche questions on Blakes Seven could attract joker points (hands up anybody who remembers where joker points come from !!!).Or forget Celtic obsession and concentrate on Yorkshire. What does S.U.N.W.A.C. mean to you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suandpete Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Just in case anyone thinks I was cheating - the first time I did thequiz as suandpete the questions changed part way through (it was 7am)and a message told me to go back and do it again - and then added bothmy times together! So I did it again (with different questions)as peteandsu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Avery Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 No chance for 10 today, just two French questions, 3 Scottish river and loch questions and one that insists that there is a Sscottish actor (Denis lawson) in Holby City, he played Tom Campbell-Gore who actually who left the series at least a year ago, lucky that one question on the Civil War has now come up three times.[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
