. . . but having notched up 10 years on this site this week, I decided to take a look at the weekly news quiz on the BBC website (which I used to post a link to most weeks but had almost forgotten about).

I scored just 1 out of 7 (and that was a guess!).

Can you do any better?

Well no brainboxes so far, but still better than me!

Thanks for your posts ;-)

BTW, Mamyalynne, did you see my feedback here?

Given that you did my crossword in half the time of two reasonably-expert crossword-solvers (and that the other ABers who said they'd try it went strangely quiet about reporting their success), you're clearly in the 'super-expert' category! (AnaxCrosswords needs to watch out. You'll have his job soon!)

3 for me (but 2 were pure guesswork!)

Mamyalynne

Solving is one thing,setting another- Ta for the feedback. :-)

Well done, Ann. That puts you and Canary42 in the joint lead!

Mamyalynne:
You're still a genius. Go on, admit it!

^^^PS: I'm far, far better at setting quizzes and crosswords than I ever am at doing them. You most definitely wouldn't want me in your pub quiz team!
