Bbc Quiz: Week 43

[Buenchico]

A middling FOUR out of seven for me in the adult quiz this week. (It was one of those weeks when I kept thinking "Blast, I knew that really" when I got an answer wrong):

I scored an equally middling THREE out of five in the junior quiz too:

I couldn't match my maximum score from last week on the Timed Teaser quiz but I still managed SEVEN out of ten. (I swear that countdown timer gets faster every week though!):

So not too bad for me but still with plenty of scope for you lot to thrash me soundly, I think. I'm kinky like that, you know! ;-)

[Buenchico]

Getting better as you go on, Patsy ;-)

[Caran]

2/7, 2/5, 4/10.

[Buenchico]

Look at it this way, Caran: you managed to score nearly half marks throughout ;-)

[Caran]

Great consolation Chris!!

[JJ109]

4 and 3 Ok but a pathetic 3 on the timed one. Ran out of time too often!

[Ken4155]

5/7, 4/5 and just 4/10 - i was still reading the question when i 'timed out' on a couple :-(

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club with your 4 and 3, JJ109, but I see Ken has gone one better than both of us on those two quizzes! (He's gone one better than you on the timed quiz too, I see. Well done on some decent cores, Ken!).

Yes, JJ109 and Ken, that timer bar does go too ruddy fast, doesn't it?

3, 3, 4. Dire.

[Buenchico]

Catching up with the latecomers here . . .

Well done on beating me on the main adult quiz, anyway, Karamia ;-)

Not totally dire, I think, Naomi - it could have been a lot worse!
;-)

Not great, Sharon, but that 5/10 is still better than many people seem to have achieved with the timed quiz anyway!

Oops . . . or should that be 'treble oops' perhaps, Kwillmott?
Better luck next week!

2/7 and 3/5.

I didnt do the timed teaser quiz because last time I did it, I was timed out on the first 5 questions before I could read the questions and the answers.

As far as the others are concerned, I fail to see how pop music and films are classified as news.

I know, Chris. I'm just whingeing! :o)

[Buenchico]

Trying to sneak in late won't help you to hide your low scores from me, 10CS ;-)

Anyway, a middling 3 on the junior quiz isn't too bad. (It's all I could manage, after all!).

The reason why so many pop and movie questions get into the quizzes might, I think, have something to do with the setters preferring not to mention all of the horrific things that actually make the real news headlines ;-)
