9/10. Fuck you, USB!

 

[tazarbm]

7/10

got everything right (without cheating, of course), except for the Calcutta one (I ticked cricket since I knew that Indians are heavy into cricket, not even once did it occur to me that they play rugby )... the gold fish one (I chose 3-5 seconds, I had no idea they can remember for up to 5 months, damn this fish has better memory than me!), and I also failed - to my shock - the Mansfield vs Burnley question, and this is surprising given that I'm pretty keen, and up-to-date on football. This failed question pisses me the most actually, I could swear that they've eliminated CP, not Burnley, but oh well... I'll not check this as I assume you've gotten your quiz right

Anyway, fun quiz... I would have taken the previous one too, but you've closed it too quickly, I think you can let these quizzies stay open for a week to give more people chances to take them... I wonder for how long you can keep creating these, though because I never want to end

Now minus all those staff questions from your score as well and there you go... your actual final score : D

Sometimes the easiest questions are the ones you overthink and end up missing.
I’m pretty sure that’s what happened with the football one : D

Yeah, I will keep that in the back of my mind about leaving it open longer.
One of the main reasons I close it after the weekend is because I purposely theme it around the weekend when everyone is more relaxed and likely to take it.

Also, some questions are based on recent events and leaving it open too long can kinda make them feel outdated

Well, let’s just say we keep enjoying this together while it lasts : )
Hopefully I can keep setting this up every weekend. I’m enjoying it myself too, especially the interaction and the bants sometimes : D

I think that's not important for quizzies, honestly. You can have questions from millennia ago, it wouldn't matter because quizzies are general knowledge questionaires, so I really don't think it's an issue, personally. But, you're the conductor, so you have the last word

was there any banter over these quezzies?? I've not seen one yet... or maybe I don't remember. Like I said earlier, my memory lately has been shorter than a gold fish's memory, so yeah...

Anyway, I WILL enjoy while they last, I've always loved questionaires with multiple answers, even in school when I had to take tests in this format, for some reason I did better at those tests than in traditional tests (the ones in which they give you 4-5 topics and you have to answer them with formulae or walls of text). Quizzies are more fun...

8 out of 10. Rugby and fish have done me in.................

 

[JohnnyNumber5]

Well, that was fun! No comment on the score. Guess I need to go find some more input

 

[Ben Arthur]

Just gave it a try and ended up with 7/10

Some of those questions were tougher than I expected. Still fun though. Looking forward to the next round!

Hmm. something Fishy is going on here… Everyone is really scoring high this weekend : D

I don't want to hear people complain when questions like who held the office of Taoiseach in WW2 start showing up again

Well well… you now have to go get a fish as a pet.
That is the penalty for missing the question : D

Fair enough.

Hope to have you back again next weekend though. Cheers : D
