During the course of the last few weeks, we have been treated to a number of quizzes put together and run by various forum members.
I have participated in a few of them, and thoroughly enjoyed them.
As such, I'd like to take a brief moment to put out a thank you to the individuals who took the time to compile the quizzes.
In no particular order, these include Squares, Aspro, Cork Langer, TheNorfolkMafia, and I_agree_with_nick.
Apologies to anyone else who has complied a quiz but I have forgotten to mention.
Anyway, here we are on Easter Sunday during the COVID-19 lockdown.
A new experience for all of us.
Now, my quiz is very unlike those compiled by various forum contributors during the lockdown.
In fact, it could easily be argued that it isn't a quiz at all.
However, whatever it may be , here it is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Scenario
There is a man who marries a woman. Together, they proceed to have three children, all daughters. The daughters are all of school age.
The man and the woman both have full time jobs that are based in a city that we will call Londonia. The school attended by the three daughters is also in Londonia.
The group live within a building that is owned by the man and woman. It is for their exclusive use and can only be accessed by them or their invited guests.
It has a number of rooms including a kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms, and general living areas.
The kitchen has a refrigerator that is well stocked with food.
It also has cupboards where other food items are stored and a fruit bowl containing fresh apples, oranges, and bananas.
The bedrooms all have built in wardrobes that contain clothing worn by the five individuals when they leave the building to go to work or attend school.
The wardrobes also contain clothing worn by the five individuals for their activities outside of work or school attendance.
The bedrooms also contain various personal effects, including books and toys.
The bathrooms have sinks and cabinets. They contain various toiletries and accessories, including individual toothbrushes.
The general living areas are generously furnished. They contain various audio-visual equipment including televisions, computers, and iPads.

After his forum hiatus, I had high hopes that Baphornet would refrain from engaging in rude and abusive behaviour.
But even on Easter Sunday, my hopes are shown to be little more than an unrealistic fantasy.  |

If you want to collect your Mars bar, you'll need to come out of your crease.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Australia were getting very frustrated at not being able to get Arjuna Ranatunga of Sri Lanka out. Ranatunga, the then captain of his country, was 'larger' than your average man. The Australians tried a number of different ways to get him out tactically before Ian Healy, the wicketkeeper, said: “Put a Mars Bar on a good length and that should do it". |
