Check.

I didn't bother with last week's test, as I only knew the Fernando Alonso-related one.
 
You did pretty well, though Q4 is really tripping a few people up this week... :D

Q10 is a Googlebomb. You either know it, or you'll be looking it up - and Santa will KNOW if you've been naughty...
 
When I sent my answers, there was no mention of a penalty....
 
You big fibber!

I DID add it on as an edit, but it was there before I received Jon.'s answers (and he was first).
 
Nope. That'd be submitting an answer - and that's the answer I'd have to take...

Edit: Holy cow, live4speed!
 
I know a few of them, might lose points on 4 because I know I've not got them all and I presume not mentioning one will go down as -2 pts and a wrong answer.

Is that good or bad?

Edit, cool. Just ouf curiosity, did I actually miss any for number 4?
 
Check the leaderboard...

And no - you got them all...
 
live4speed
Really, I thought there was at least one more :lol:.

Not until 1910.

Jon. I don't think you'll be there on your own...
 
I might be the only person to get 18 without bonus points :lol:

I knew alot of the answers to this weeks quiz. Alot of questions to things I knew.

Maybe 16?

:P
 
Hit too low and kid's will be out of the question.
 
MachOne
Why do I always aim so high....but hit so low..

Mainly because I'm a complete bastard.

There's two questions in there this week which everyone knows the answer to (4 and 9, for reference). Only they know the wrong answer...
 
Question about #9: Colonial or non-colonial? Anyway, I already looked it up (for both), so I’ll DQ myself. :D
 
Whu huh whu?

It's the longest animal whether you measure it in feet (over 100) OR metres (over 30).

Edit: Ah - I see. THAT colonial. No, colonies of animals - like coral - don't count because they are not single animals.
 
I "quoted" what was believed to be Henry for # 4.
Some of the others were WAGs.

BTW the question is somewhat misleading, now that I've looked it up.:lol:
 
Gil - PM me with anything you believe to be inaccurate. There was a slight inaccuracy in last week's quiz which meant I had to give a point to everyone who gave an answer which wasn't correct but, in the original context, wasn't incorrect either.
 
Nope - you've dropped right in with the popular crowd...
