Which pair?

[cruzloco]

One had 54 solid objects and the other had 50. Which pair?

You obviously are not just looking for 1% of the CAB quiz answers you have asked lots of the questions. I hope that nobody helps you anymore. Try looking up the answers for yourself.

[JUE37]

Why oh why do we go through this every year!!! Does it really matter MALLORY where the answers come from? Its only a bit of fun. Its called the answer bank for god's sake, you get answers here. I don't see people wanting help with the daily mail crossword etc getting abuse do you? Every bureau has the opportunity to look on here so no one has the advantage. GET A GRIP!!!
Sorry cruzloco I haven't got the foggiest.........

Perhaps we don't see people asking about crossword answers getting abuse because
(A) They have not specifically been requested by the quizmaster NOT to just post the questions and wait for others to give them the answer.
(B) They only have a few days to find the answer not something like TWO MONTHS.
I see nothing wrong in posting questions when there are a few days left to find them but surely two months before the closing date is a bit too early and that is why people get upset.

[JUE37]

If a quiz is something to get upset about then these people must have fantastic lives. I for one have other more important things to worry about. I pity those upset people should anything tragic happen.
Just for the record I may have had only a few days but as I've now got 90 answers (none off this web site) I think I might be entitled to go the easy route for the others

Maybe upset was the wrong word.

Perhaps I could ask JUE 37 a question.

As somebody who I assume is connected with CAB and therefore gives advice to people don't you think that life would be much more pleasant if we all abided by the rules. Surely the decline in standards of behaviour in this country is down to the modern belief that it is OK for anyone to bend or break the rules.

The quizmaster set one rule for the quiz

Please don't just post questions on the internet is that so difficult to abide by?

[theladenator]

The closing date for the quiz is the 12th January so there is plenty of time.

So far all the answers I have personally found were discovered using search engines and/or Wikipedia.

The trick is what you search for. Simply putting in the questions brings you nothing but links to this site :-p

[JUE37]

I don't want to live in a police state thankyou. If I don't agree with the rules then I alone will take the consequences of not abiding by them. Might I just point out though that I have abided by this rule as I have not posted any questions or answers on this site. I'm sure if you had done your research you would realise this. We either agree to differ and accept different points of view or become even sadder by debating something so trivial!

[oarsman]

Jue 37. If you had read my question properly you would see that at no stage did I suggest that you had not abided by the rules.

I was commenting on the fact that you would appear to condone breaking rules if you don't agree with them and if this is the case I would hate to think you are giving out advice to people who go to the CAB.

If as you say you find these matters trivial there will be no need for you to post a reply but unfortunately if we had a country where people only obeyed the rules they agreed with we would soon have a state of anarchy. Society can only exist where law and order is the norm and rule breakers are punished this is not a police state but a reasonable version of democacy.

[JUE37]

You might not have suggested I was not abiding by the rules however you seem to assume I am a CAB advisor. How wrong you are!

This is a question from an annual Quiz, kindly compiled by one person for a national body staffed by thousands of trained volunteers. The organisation exists to inform people of their legal rights and responsibilities, so many of the trained volunteers and their paid associates do have to develop some good research skills.

Each year there are 100 questions, set by the generous individual who (presumably) puts a lot of thought into making this a challenging-but-fun quiz, and who (indubitably) knows that the contestants are trained to research answers to tricky questions.

In recent years people�s research skills have developed to include the IT User's Friend, viz. the Boolean search on keywords over the Internet. Use of Mr Boole�s legacy is to be encouraged. And in certain circumstances, posting a direct question on a Quiz Answer Site - such as this one � gets as good a result as that which would be obtained by the boolean approach. And often much faster.

But the thing is, the Quiz Setter did make one request, which was:
�Naturally surfing the internet for answers is permitted but can I please ask you not to just post the questions on the net � that really is not in the spirit of the quiz.�

Shall we read that again? He asked: CAN I PLEASE ASK YOU NOT TO JUST POST THE QUESTIONS ON THE NET.

There is no question of enforcing this polite request. Or indeed of policing any Quiz websites. But in future years, would it not be considerate, at the very least, to ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK that went into producing this quiz, and RESPECT the author�s request?

Hi - This quiz sounds like a lot of fun, but I can't seem to find it on the web. Can someone post the link to it please? Thanks
