A Tricky Quiz

[Buenchico]

Jno posted a link to the Guardian's University Challenge quiz on my BBC quiz thread last Friday. I think that it deserves a wider audience, so (for all you brainboxes out there) here it is:

Jno's score (out of 15) was a fairly impressive 9, with sandyRoe doing nearly as well on 8. I've just had a crack at it and only managed a pathetic 5. (Nobody would ever want me on their pub quiz team!)

Any more takers?

7/15

6 for me

[Buenchico]

I reckon that's quite a decent score for those questions, Mamya! Well done!

Better than me, Toorak!

[ToraToraTora]

I got 8, though TBF I only knew 6.

[Canary42]

7, but several were guesses.

[Buenchico]

At least you managed a bit of lucky guessing, TTT. My luck seemed to be non-existent in that department!

Well done, anyway!

[Buenchico]

Everbody's beating me. (Sulk!)

Well done, Canary42 ;-)

[Mamyalynne]

Looking forward to the final in a few minutes.

[Cloverjo]

I’m with you Buenchico. A measly five.

[cashier]

I got eight but with a few wild guesses.

Oh right, ta.

[Buenchico]

Ah, company at last! Welcome, Clover!

Well done with those scores of 7, Emeritus and Tilly2!

. . . but Cashier moves into joint 2nd place with 8!

[Buenchico]

A new joint leader!

WELL DONE, Pixie!!!

[wolf63]

I got eight right which is a bit of a surprise.

6/15!!! I'm impressed with myself.
