The questions came from a "Trivia Quizzes" book I bought for £1.99 the other day. Similar to yours study, in that there are 10 questions on 250 particular topics. Works well, although I wish the answers were on the bottom of the questions pages to save flicking back and forth! [smiley:crazy]

Also typed out Austrain rather than Austrian in one of the questions. Must learn to get that typing pattern sorted! |

By:
One point was awarded, rather. I'm losing my marbles.

By:
And for question number 4, I'd have probably only awarded study a point. "1 billion" and "1.3 billion" scored in the quiz itself.

A 20-question general knowledge quiz will begin at 22:30 if there are going to be at least six participants.
1 point per correct answer, so no FFF. Sorry I can't give greater warning than this, but I can't promise I can be anywhere in the near-future with the ideas my mates pull out of the sky! Call me the impromptu quizmaster. ![]() |
