Bbc Quiz : Week 53

[Buenchico]

Yes, it’s ‘Week 53’! How time flies! (For pedants: I DO know that there are only 52 weeks in a year but there are 53 Fridays in this one, so I’m simply sticking with my usual numbering here).

There’s no Timed Teaser from Aunty Beeb this week but the main Quiz of the Week is back after its Christmas break. After getting the first three questions wrong I thought that I was going to end the year with a total disaster but everything went right for me from then on, giving me a total of FOUR out of seven:

The youngsters (and the young at heart) have an end of the year quiz this week, with twelve questions instead of the usual five. It’s really easy (as it should be, because it’s meant for kids!), so my score of just EIGHT out of twelve is actually somewhat embarrassing, in my own opinion:

Beating me really shouldn’t be too hard this week, I reckon ;-)

(For anyone who missed the four-part grown-up’s quiz last week, due to wrapping last minute Christmas presents and stuffing yourselves with mince pies no doubt, the thread is still available here: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1778262.html )

My thanks go to the 30-odd people (or should that be 'the 30 odd people'?) who join in these threads each week and a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR to each and every one of you!

Snap. 4/7 and 8/12. Happy New Year to your good self and the kitties from myself and Robbie ( who has a new Santa Hat cat bed but much prefers the human lap)

[Cloverjo]

Oh, 3 and 8.
Happy New Year!

[cashier]

Five and ten (good grief). A very happy new year to you and the cats Buenchico and thanks for posting every week.

Ending the year in fine quizzing fettle.

2/7 & 9/12

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club, twice over, Campbellking!
(I'm typing this with one hand because Moonbeam also likes a human lap and insists that my right arm is positioned exactly where he wants it to be!)

Your scores are much the same as mine, Clover. So they can't be too bad, can they?
;-)

Cashier goes briefly into the lead but, almost immediately, Mozz then edges ahead! (Well done both of you!).

[DTCwordfan]

book me in for 5/7 please...

[Buenchico]

Kwillmott is rather better at being a kid than an adult this week, I see!
;-)

[Buenchico]

I was hoping that you were going to say "Book me in for paying for the first round", DTC ;-)

Well done with that 5.

[tonyav]

4/7 and 10/12.

Happy new year all.

[DTCwordfan]

and 10/12 for the kids' one....

[DTCwordfan]

Happy New Year all.....

[calmck]

Wishing you all the very best for 2022. Hope It's a good one ; ))

Take care, stay safe

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Tony. Well done on beating me to round off the year ;-)

Well done on a good kids' score, DTC!

Good evening, Sam. A better kid than an adult this week, I see ;-)
Have a good year!

5/7

10/12

[Buenchico]

Oops!

I seem to have ignored Calmck's post above! Sorry, Calmck!
Well done with those very good scores, Calmck! (However easy the kids' one might look, it's never easy to score maximum points - and even harder, of course, when there are 12 questions instead of 5! So well done, again!)

Well done on your good scores too, Mamya!

[jourdain2]

Quite chirpy 5/7 on adults and 7/12 on kids. Happy to end the year on that!

Major 'Thank You' for posting these week after week and commiserating, buoying-up, laughing-at etc. all our scores Buen..

2022 beckons - we intend to do our best through it; hope it's a good one for you. :)

[roopower]

4 and 8. Thanks for posting the quizzes, buenchico. Happy new year .

[Buenchico]

Double snap, Roopower! Have a good new year!

Yes, a decent end to the year indeed, Jourdain2. Thanks for your kind comments. I hope that the new year goes well for you!
