Bbc Quiz: Week 43

[Buenchico]

A middling FOUR out of seven for me in the adult quiz this week. (It was one of those weeks when I kept thinking "Blast, I knew that really" when I got an answer wrong):

I scored an equally middling THREE out of five in the junior quiz too:

I couldn't match my maximum score from last week on the Timed Teaser quiz but I still managed SEVEN out of ten. (I swear that countdown timer gets faster every week though!):

So not too bad for me but still with plenty of scope for you lot to thrash me soundly, I think. I'm kinky like that, you know! ;-)

Oh my goodness, I didn't realise I was paying as much attention to the news this week, Your score: 7 / 7
Rocket Man
7 - Rocket Man

4-6 - Still standing

0-3 - I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues

[Mamyalynne]

Consistent, but not in a good way.

3/7
3/5
3/10

[Buenchico]

Long time no see, Ducksie!

Welcome back . . . even if you are beating me as always ;-)

Gonna try the other two?

[Buenchico]

Well, you're just as childlike as me anyway, Mamya ;-)

[wolf63]

I got the first two correct on the adult quiz - it went downhill from there.

For the kiddies quiz - I knew how old the Queen is, the rest I got wrong.

Hi Chris, didn't do too well on the children's one, I did answer the Royal one correctly, that's about it Your score: 3 / 5
Good effort. You've been taking notice this week.

[Buenchico]

I have (rather too many) weeks like that, Susan, where it all starts well and then goes downhill from there ;-)

Welcome to the club on the junior one, Ducksie!

[ducksie]

Hahaha I was too busy watching the bar go down and couldn't read the questions so fast :( I hit some when I realised I knew the answers - such a dimwit on this one Your score: 2 / 10
Oh dear!

[ducksie]

I guess that means I am useless on pop culture

[cashier]

Five and three this time.

[cashier]

Five on the timed. Couldn't read fast enough for some.

[Mozz71]

A not bad main quiz with 5/7
A shocking kids one with 2/5
Quietly impressed with the timed one with 8/10.

[Milo2]

5, 1 and 6 this week.

[Buenchico]

Thanks for having a go at the timed one anyway, Ducksie. I think that it does takes a bit of getting used to ;-)

Yes, Cashier, that timer bar does move ruddy quickly doesn't it? ;-)
(You still beat me on the main adult quiz anyway though!)

[Buenchico]

2/5 isn't total disaster on the kids' one, Mozz, and your other scores are very good. So "Well done, mate!"

Not much of a kid this week but otherwise decent enough (and beating me with that 5/7) elsewhere anyway, Milo2!

[piggynose]

adults..3/7 I ran out of luck this week with no lucky guesses
kids.. 4/7 wasnt much better.

[JimF]

7/7
2/5

[jourdain2]

Somewhat variable, with inspired guessing on the timed one - due to panic! 3/; 3/5 and a huge 8/10 - but I hadn't heard of loads of the pop characters. I reckon that knowledge brought me 3 or 4.

[Buenchico]

Well those are the same scores of mine in the first two quizzes, Piggy, even if they're the other way round ;-)
[Not trying the quick one then?]

BRILLIANT, Jim! Well done with matching Ducksie with that 7!
You're a 'passable kid' too, I see ;-)

[Buenchico]

Reasonable enough on the first two then, Jourdain2, and currently top of the table with Mozz on the third one. Well done!
