Bbc Quiz : Annual

[Buenchico]

Good evening all!

 

Somewhat later than I usual, I think, Aunty Beeb has finally got around to giving us the first two bits of her big annual news quiz.

 

This link covers the events of January to March.  I scored SIX out of thirteen:

April to June can be found here.  I did better on this part, with NINE out of thirteen:

The remaining two parts of the adults' quiz haven't gone online yet but, for the first time, we've been given a junior version of the annual quiz.  My score was 50% :

Your turn now!

 

I hope that you've all had a lovely Christmas and that the New Year will bring you all that you want!

The same good wishes for yourself Chris

7/13 in the first one and 5 in the second.

That's about average for me.

Evening Chris.  And a very merry Christmas to you.

Hope you and the furries had a nice time.

I think I'll buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.  My luck seems to be in.

[Buenchico]

Decent enough scores, I think, the first two parts, Sandy and an impressive achievement in the junior quiz! Well done!

 

Good evening, Sam.  I'm well thanks (as I hope that you are too) and I've had a good Christmas with my three best friends alongside me.  I hope that things went well for you too.

'Soild' (even if not 'wildly impressive') scores from you this week, I feel!

Hi Buen, kitties et al.  I hope you all have a really good Christmas.

Mine was lousy - BUT today I got the news that OH is out of danger and it'll be a long haul, but we are in for rehab. for a while ............feel as if I've won the lottery!  So I had a go at the quiz.........Hmmmmmmm

Part one 6/13   Part 2 8/13

Kids one - an amazing 80%!

Now can I go to sleep for a week please? 😊

Hi, Jourdain2!

I'm glad that things seem to be going a bit better now for you and Mr J2.  I hope that they'll continue to do so apace.

I think that I've been doing all of your sleeping for you!  (I went to bed at around 4am this morning and didn't get up until 7.40pm!  At least I feel refreshed now!).  I hope that you can now get some relaxing sleep too!

Well done on getting some decent quiz scores!

[Buenchico]

You're just a big kid at heart, aren't you, Rocky? 😊

Well done on that junior score!

[haras2]

6/13 v 6/13

9/13 v 8/13

Bit of an effort on a Friday night !

Hope your trio enjoyed the holiday as much as you did, and hope 2025 provides better weather than 2024 did...

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda !

Good evening, Chris - wish I could sleep like you!!

7/13

9/13

66%

All the best for New Year to you and your puddy cats.

[Canary42]

The Junior quiz is much the easier, I got 66%.

 

But scores of 3 and 5 for the other two is more typical for me.

 

Wishing you (and all other participants) all the best for the new year :-)

Thanks for posting the quizzes throughout the year, Buenchico. This is always fun. 
I got 6, 9 and 75% today. I'm quite pleased with the 75%. Better than my usual effort in the kids' one.

Hi, Captain2!

The reason I sometimes end up sleeping for ages is that I often can't really sleep at all for days on end, until a wave of tiredness finally hits me!

Well done on getting some decent scores on the quiz.

Your employer is in my good books this week.  It took a manager over 20 minutes to get the self-service tills to allow me to pay for my shopping.  When I pointed out to her that she'd got the second machine that she'd tried to credit me with £40 worth of Fivers, even though they were still showing on my More app, she said just to leave things as they were.  So I got £40 for nothing! 😊

Happy New Year!

 

Hi, Haras2!

Well done on getting some decent scores!  (Unless our posts have crossed though, I don't see a junior score from you this week!).

The Feline Threesome have been enjoying lots of (expensive) special food over Christmas.  I just hope that they'll still accept the regular stuff afterwards!

I hope that 2025 brings you (and Gobolino!) everything that you could wish for!

Pob lwc!

[haras2]

Oops!

Forgot the  Junior Quiz  -  75%

[Captain2]

'So I got £40 for nothing'

That's my Xmas bonus down the Swanee, then!!! 🤣😉

Good for you though.

[Buenchico]

Hi, Canary42!

You're obviously best at simply being childlike! 😊

Happy New Year!

 

Impressive scores, Clover!  Well done!

Have a great year in 2025!

 

Well done with that junior score, Haras2!

[Buenchico]

^^^ LOL @ Captain2!

No Merry Christmas here Chris! 3/13; 6/13 and 75%. I hardly knew the answers. Most of the correct ones were guesses. Happy New Year!
