Bbc Quiz : Apr To Jun

[Buenchico]

Aunty Beeb has now given us the second part of her big annual quiz.  I did much better than I managed on the first bit, scoring EIGHT out of thirteen this time:

You'll still be able to beat me though, won't you?

[For those who missed it yesterday, the first part of the quiz can be found here: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/ChatterBank/Question1858163.html ]

[Ken4155]

Didn't beat you Chris - but you didn't beat me either😉

A quite fortunate 8/13 - most were guesses

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the club, Ken!

[Moorea7]

Good evening 😊  Head down, I creep away with 6/13 but no guesses!

[Karamia]

Didn't manage to beat you today, Chris, but managed 7/13. Onwards and upwards :-)

[kwillmott]

Getting better 

6/13

[Buenchico]

It seems that most people are doing a bit better today than yesterday!

Well done on almost reaching half marks, Moorea7 and Kwillmott, and to Karamia too for being bang in the middle this time around!

[Arksided]

6/13, I may do better on yesterdays.

[Buenchico]

A decent enough score, anyway, Arky!

[Sam1960]

Evening Chris.

 

3/13 (yesterdays quiz)

5/13 (todays quiz)

 

Amazing how quickly you forget things !!

 

Hope this finds you well  ; ))

[Buenchico]

Hi, Sam.

I seem to have beaten you twice so far but I'm betting that it won't last when it comes to the third and fourth parts of the quiz!

I continue to do well for an old 'un, thank you.  I hope that you're well too and that you'll have a really lovely Christmas!

[10ClarionSt]

I definitely know nothing and haven't been paying attention. That's because I don't watch the news or buy papers. However, part 1 was 6/13. Part 2 was 4/13. Virtually all of them guesses! Hey ho! ☺

[Buenchico]

Better than me on one then, 10CS, but not so good on the other.  You'll probably hammer me on the remaining parts though 😊

[roopower]

Good heavens, a 1 for me. No good guessing and I don't remember most of the stories. Must try harder.  The truth is, I thought I'd let you beat me, chico. Happy Christmas.

[Buenchico]

Oh, thank you so much, Roo.  That was really kind of you to let me beat you although, of course, you could still have done that with a score of 7 😉

[jourdain2]

Back to a more normal run of luck - in that guesses didn't work!

4/13 tonight, so aggregate of 11/32.

Thanks so much for putting these threads  on Buen.  :)

[Buenchico]

Not too much of a disaster, anyway, Jourdain2.

It could have been worse though.  It might have been a test on multiplication, such as 2 x 13 = ? 😊

[jourdain2]

As you say, Buen -  26 of course!  Kick self!   Numbers make me their plaything - it's easier to go  along with them.  I was thinking of 2x16 - for some reason I've had to use  that a lot.  Is there an emoji for a furrowed brow with a question mark above?  There should be.  :)

Oh, I know 16ths of an inch!  Dressmaking - don't ask.  :)

[Buenchico]

Don't worry about it, Jourdain2.  I get simple sums wrong all of the time - and I used to teach Maths!

😊

[jourdain2]

My younger  daughter is also a Maths teacher!  My elder one has a degree in Chemistry from Durham and now works in finance --  so just where my genes went????  Granddaughter has just started  reading Eng. Lit. at Warwick, however, so all is not yetlost.  So glad you get easy sums wrong as well!

[campbellking]

Part 1 3/13, part 2 7/13. Clearly not paying a lot of attention to anything.....Puss Puss is just giving me a 'whatever' look and Bailey is snuggled up. Hope all is good with you and yours.
