Very challenging Les I failed with a miserable 120 but on reviewing it I'd have got two more correct if I'd checked the spelling ! Cheers

[les_taxi]

You can count the spelling mistakes as correct

[Dedworth]

How many extra points does that get me ?

One was the World Cup country and the other killer animal

[les_taxi]

20 points

?2 - name isnt 'imagine'

?6 - should be liquorice

[Arthur Little]

?2 - name isnt 'imagine'

, Noel ... his username is 'imagine'. Whereas, his actual name's Stewart.

?6 - should be liquorice

Hmm ... ... I can only surmise "spog" must a soubriquet for liquorice!

[les_taxi]

No splitting hairs - name of member shown is 'imagine' - thats the only name shown

You correcting my spelling - well ok, should not affect outcome

I'm a bit disappointed hardly anyone has bothered with the quiz

Fair enough took me about an hour to do and only Dedworth seems to have bothered (or at least posted his score)

Thought it might have been a bit of light relief from some of the heavy subjects on here, not to mention the competitive element.

I will take it down in a couple of days. Won't be doing another.

That's a shame Les, I did it yesterday but I was a real let down. I did get some correct also a couple of spelling mistakes.

Was looking forward to the next one so that I could find out if I improve. Also, don't know what my score was because I was busy wondering if I was doing everything correctly and knowing me, it will take quite a few times for me to work out how to use the quiz site properly.

By the way, I did notice it took about 18 minutes for me to answer the questions, don't know if that's good or bad. Also, it's the first quiz I've ever done in my life!

[les_taxi]

The spelling did not matter. I'm sure i had put a note saying to write down if you got it corrrect. Each correct answer is 10 points. Maybe 65% pass rate was high. It seemed about right to me - but of course I knew the answers. .

So once again the spelling is not important.

I've got one foot on the podium

Well looks like you may be declared Supreme Quiz Champion by Sunday night at this rate

[raynaputi]

I did it yesterday! But I failed! I probably only got less than 10 correct answers!

It was a tough quiz - you did fine

Did not want it dumbed down too much

[SimonH]

Started it yesterday, but it was only when I got a few questions in that I realised you need sound

[fred]

I knew loads of them Les..But the answers were all firmly stuck on the tip of my tongue!!

A measly 80.

Spock was a Vulcan right??

[fred]

started it yesterday, but it was only when i got a few questions in that i realised you need sound

fail!!

[lordna]

Oh dear! i failed miserably with a pathetic score of 70!

Good quiz though Les .......must make a note to check my spelling.

[Arthur Little]

Started it yesterday

Likewise ... but without much success!

but it was only when I got a few questions in that I realised you need sound

was [part] of my problem, NO sound at all ... ... apart from never having heard of Mike McGear.

[les_taxi]

apart from never having heard of Mike McGear

That's his stage name - I could not put his real name as Mike McCartney

[Arthur Little]

That's his stage name - I could not put his real name as Mike McCartney

, Les ... and ... ... even though the quiz didn't suit me too well, I'm sure we ALL appreciate the time and effort you put into devising it.

[les_taxi]

even though the quiz didn't suit me too well

Just let me know the ones you want putting in next time

[grahamw48]

Will have a go in a couple of days, after the jetlag has cleared.

Thanks for taking the trouble Les.

[les_taxi]

Remember some is audio and it does not matter if you spell it wrong as long as it's the correct answer

Dedworth top of the tree so far - waiting for Joe and Andy to try knock him of his perch

OK..So when the answers come in,I can adjust up my total due to bad spelling.

[les_taxi]

Yes-if it says incorrect due to wrong spelling-but the answer is correct you can count it.
The reason this happens is it's nearly impossible to tell the quiz master every combination of bad spelling
140 points is the Score to beat-quiz finishes midnight Sunday

[SimonH]

I'm officially a failure

Thanks Les
