Rainbow Charity Quiz

[BourneStupid]

The answers are all forms of land-based transport.

I am stuck on Q40. Rage displayed by party extremists - a religious man included! (5 letters).

Any help gratefully received! Thank you.

It's a bit early to be posting questions about this quiz, some of us have only just received it, and the answers don't have to be in until May 31st!

I agree completely, cavendish.

I agree it's too early - don't let's spoil the challenge yet.

It's surprising, .... you think you can't possibly get the answer to a question, then eventually, after much research and attempts at lateral thinking, the light dawns ...and that's a very rewarding feeling, much better than just being told the answer. Its the whole point of doing the quiz really

[Goofy]

hooray to all the above.
Let's not do any posting on this quiz until at least the beginning of May.

Pardon me for breathing! I can assure you I have not posted lightly. I completed the rest of the quiz a couple of weeks ago, and have been racking my brain for the final answer. I just wanted to be put out of my misery.

I had not realised there was a time limit to posting questions - indeed a couple of weeks ago I posted an answer for the Children of Fiji quiz, which doesn't finish until 3 June! Nobody had thought fit to bring the person asking those questions to task.

It was made quite clear from the title what the query was about - those who did not wish to "spoil" their own enjoyment needn't look at it!

The quiz was first available on 1st March. If you completed the rest of it two weeks ago today, that means you solved 99 clues in three days. I'm very impressed by that, BourneStupid, but also puzzled as to how you couldn't then get the remaining answer in the intervening fourteen days - especially as it seems to be one of the easier ones. If you're really desperate though, I'll trade you this answer for the ones I haven't got yet.

While we are on this subject, what is the point of giving anybody the answers to the Rainbow quiz. This is a charity quiz with small prizes. Some of us work hard at eking out the answers, spending hours on the final few tough ones. It is for charity and it is for fun! Why not allow the people who score 100 from their own endeavours the chance to win a small prize. Nowadays 100s of people are getting top scores through 'pinching' answers from here.

The answers are available when competition closes from the organisers!

Party extremists = p...y - a religious man is a dd.. hence answer is PADDY.

Have you done 43, 55 60, 91

I now see some people getting hot under the collar, about the fairness of getting help with the answers, in future I will not give such an open answer, but will offer a clue. I apologise to all those who do not want help with answers.

Having spent a week on this I just want to know the answers and move on. I have no expectation of winning a prize,or even sending the answers in, and good luck to those that think they do.

On the quiz' first page the organisers make the point that anyone who does the quiz without submitting it, and hence an entry fee, has not only 'had their fun for nothing' but is also depriving the charity concerned.

Perhaps you'd like to reconsider, badly. If you don't want to submit the quiz you might at least like to send the organisers a donation as you've had the entertainment of doing it.

Well said Juliefer
