[katmarrow]

hello out there
does anyone want to swap notes on this quiz.

its really hard this time dont you think

[RECA123]

Do you think 112 is a theatre?

[owllady]

Have you not got colour on your copy RECA123?
108 is the blue building in Rotterdam
112 does look like a theatre entrance but I cant find it

[RECA123]

Hello owllady ... my sheet is in colour but 108 looks like a building and ground covered in white snow ... no sign of any colour at all. I would never have found that one and even now I know what the picture on my sheet should look like I can't tell at all.
Have been out today so no Googling. Hope you have had some success.

Thanks for any help

[katmarrow]

thanks a lot owllady
i know 37 is a newsreader but i'm blowed if i can find a picture of her.
as for the logos, i give up, like you am stumped, dont know where else to look sorry

[RECA123]

Big decision but am binning this quiz ... I don't like having to ask for so much help and it doesn't seem fair if I can't find them myself. With lots of help I have found most of the buildings but the logos are just too hard.
Don't like giving up but, for me, this isn't what doing a quiz should be.
Good luck to all of you and I hope you find the answers ... team work!

[katmarrow]

I'm inclined to agree with you RECA123, its not as if you can find things very easily. They obviously think that we have got nothing else to do but google. I, myself do 3 voluntary jobs for charity and quizzes are for my chill out time not something to get you frustrated and annoyed.
They are only easy when you know the answers

[RECA123]

I feel quite ok asking for help with one or two questions that have me stumped but I've worked long and hard on this quiz and do have time to google till the cows come home but I am not inclined to spend a whole day on a quiz and find not one answer or even know where to look next.
I'm not going to ask for six or seven or eight or so answers so feel, for me personally and am not "knocking" anyone at all, that I'd rather give up than get nowhere.
I've given this one my best shot but know when I am beaten.

[boysinblue68]

RECA123 - "I'm not going to ask for six or seven or eight or so answers" - your words not mine. So, please tell me why you've asked for at least 20 answers?

[chorley9]

Well said . The whole quiz will be asked before long.The same person is now asking a quiz that the setter requested no questions asked before the end of August.

[RECA123]

boysinblue68 ... I honestly did not realise how many I personally had asked for but have not had that many answers. I have now decided not to submit this quiz because I was not happy with asking for so many answers and decided that as I was struggling with it I would rather give up than carry on.
chorley9 ... I have answered this point and apologised in the other thread. I did not know the setter had asked for no clues until a certain date. I just checked my sheet and it doesn't say that anywhere and I did not think to look here.
This was my mistake and one I will learn from.
In fairness to all I will now not submit the clothing quiz either.

[boysinblue68]

RECA123 - if you are "not happy with asking for so many answers", then surely the answer was not to ask in the first place? Surely saying you have not had that many answers is a poor way to try and justify it? These quizzes are there to help the charities and have a bit of fun along the way. There's nothing that says you have to answer all the questions (the charity still gets the same amount of money whether there are blanks or not). Having a guess or leaving a blank space are perfectly harmless (and its all your own work). Yet another quiz ruined.

[RECA123]

Is nobody allowed to learn anything about themselves boysinblue? When I started asking I was, I thought, fine about it. It was when I came to transfer my scribbled down answers from here I began to change my mind especially when I realised how many question marks I still had and how the only way I feel I would get the answers would be to ask.
I have held up my hand and admitted I am not happy doing it this way and have had a change of mind.
Many others have asked too so I thought it alright.
I was hoping to learn, also, how to do such quizzes ... tips on how to google or search for the answers when you do not know yourself. I have a sheet of logos with no idea at all how to find them after hours, weeks of searching myself already.
I am happy to support the charities and WAS having a bit of fun along the way as you suggest and did not want or intend to "ruin another quiz".
I found this site by googling for a quiz answer and assumed you could ask for help here.
Both my heage quiz and another one for Dean Gibson School are now shredded (I mistakingly asked for help not knowing the setter had asked that we didn't).
Hindsight is a wonderful thing and I wish I'd had it before asking for help.

[boysinblue68]

I was always taught that the way to learn was not to be spoonfed answers. If someone gives you the answer, how are you learning and what satisfaction do you get from being given the answer(s) on a plate? Enter the quiz, have a guess, leave blank spaces and then get the answers from the quizsetter and see where you went wrong. Then you'll have a better idea the next time. I too have a logo quiz on the go at the moment with many gaps, but I keep plugging away - there are many logo sites out there, it's just a matter of being patient and going through page after page of logos or using search facilities to describe the logos. I hardly think it's about hindsight, more about reading the rules of the quiz - more and more quizsetters are asking that people who enter their quizzes do not ask on Q&A sites (and yes, before someone says it, there are other quizsetters who do not mind), but it's important to respect the quizsetter's wishes.

Reca123 - If you want a tip for solving logo quizzes then find a copy of yellow pages, look at the headings of all the various sections and use those words with the word logo in Google Images.

But it takes time and perseverence. If people aren't prepared to do that then don't do Heage quizzes. There are too many people who don't put the effort in but instead ask to be spoonfed answers here.

[RECA123]

Hello pulse876 ... thank you for that tip ... it is just the sort of help I am grateful to have as I found myself sitting looking at a page of logos but with no idea how to search for them when you don't know quite where to begin.
I had worked through some of the categories that pop up when you google "logos" but was getting nowhere so I think the yellow pages is a super idea.
I have decided not to continue with this quiz but will definitely use your tip if I do any further logo quizzes. Thanks.
