New Charity Quiz - Hot Pot Quiz # 1 � Rocky Horrors

[gen2]

A brand new Charity Quiz of 100 cryptic clues is now available.

Compiled by regular AnswerBank Q & P poster gen2, this quiz has been a year in the making and comprises 100 cryptic clues on the theme of Rocks, Stones, Minerals and Gems - hence the title 'Rocky Horrors'. Every answer either is, or contains, a rock, stone, mineral or gem.

The quiz is to raise funds for the upkeep of the premises owned by Kirkcaldy Art Club (Registered Scotish Charity number SCO 37822). Closing date is January 31st 2008.

If you enjoy the 'Rainbow Quizes', or have recently enjoyed Crofter's Dragonfly Quiz ('Birds & B's') then I am sure you will enjoy the 'Rocky Horrors' as well.

Do you have friends, relatives or work colleagues who enjoy these types of quiz? Then why not order several copies?


Quizzes are available for just �1 each + SAE (cheques made payable to Kirkcaldy Art Club - envelope at least 9" x 4")

May just be worth saying that this is different from the other quiz called Jewellery Gems stones rocks and metals that is on sale at the moment for the Guide dogs for the blind

Thanks for that additional informationsmouse. I wasn't aware another charity quiz had picked the same theme. This one has been a year in the making and I would hope the time taken in refinements has produced a high quality quiz. I am sure it will represent value for money for anyone participating in the Hot Pot Quiz #1.

Watch for the theme: 'Rocky Horrors'</b

Having just read about the Rocky Horrors quiz, my cheque will be in the post. Does anyone have any other suggestions for cryptic quizzes that stretch the brain? (I've already come across the Rainbow quiz).

[gen2]

Thank you all for your interest and support. I have sent off nearly 40 copies already. I hope you get great enjoyment from it.

'Rocky Horrors' Quiz - Minor amendment

This quiz of 100 cryptic clues to rocks, stones gems and minerals contains a minor anachronism.

The answer to 31 is shown as being two words (4,6) but it was more usually hyphenated (4-6) and now the latest Chambers shows it as a single word of 10 letters (10).
All versions will be treated the same for marking purposes. Many apologies.
