Answerbank Quiz NIght

[squarebear]

Once again, it's coming up to the last Friday in the month and so it's time for "The Snooty Fox" to hold its monthly Answerbank quiz night. Can our reigning champions, The A-Team (boxtops, micmak, docspock and kawakiri) hang on to the title of best quiz team on Answerbank?

The format will be the same as last month, so if you are interested in playing but didn't play last month you will need to register as a new user here: http://triviasquares.proboards.com/index.cgi
If you wish to get some of your AB friends to make up a team with you let me know, otherwise I will allocate you to a team. Let's try to have no more than 4 people per team please. I will give you a password to access your section of the message board so you can confer with your team members without looking over the shoulders of the rival teams.

Once all the teams have been set up, The Snooty Fox will open it's doors for business at 9pm this Friday here:

You will be presented with a picture/sound/music quiz (to help avoid using search engines) and should confer with your other team members on your part of the message board. When you are happy with your answers, you should post your list of final answers on the message board and I will mark them before posting the answers and results here. You will get 2 hours to complete your quiz.

Any questions or queries please post here but for now, please post your name here if you would like to play. Let's try and get at least 4 teams please.

Maybe you'd get an even better response in the Weather section....

[boxtops]

You need to be in a team molly - those people who weren't in one were allocated to a team by squarebear.

[mollykins]

4getmenot can i join your team?

[mollykins]

I don't mind really, i jsut saw that 4get was on their own.

[squarebear]

Of course you can play Molly. I'll put you in with a team unless you have 3 AB friends who want to join you?

"Maybe you'd get an even better response in the Weather section.... "

lol I never thought of that. I was hoping the Ed would make it a sticky.

[dotty.]

well I've joined but there's no info on what to do but i;m working this friday til 8pm and so porobably will only be aroung later on

[squarebear]

No need for you to do anything yet dotty. I'll allocate you to a team later and then let you know. This quiz starts at 9pm on Friday if you are about?

[dotty.]

cheers, I'll be in about 8.30 and by the time I get tea i should be around about 9pm so hopefully will take part.

[squarebear]

I'll look forward to it. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

[anneasquith]

have we been allocated to teams ?

[boxtops]

Dot, when you log in on the night you will find your team members chatting on a chat site only your team can see - so we discuss possible answers before posting them back to squarebear on a link.

Anne - Have you registered at http://triviasquares.proboards.com/index.cgi ?
I don't know what your username is over there. I'll allocate people to teams either Thursday or Friday.

Does anybody just cheat and google the answers?

[squarebear]

I don't see how they could easily google the answers, as they are either sound or picture questions. For example I could show a picture of a celebrity and ask who they were or play a piece of music and ask who sang it.

If you don't know who you are looking at or listening to, it's hard to google. I try to create the atmosphere of a pub quiz where you confer with your team before writing an answer down.

Although saying that, in last month's quiz I played "Happy Birthday to you" backwards and asked people to name what it was and someone said to their team that they downloaded an audio player and reversed it to find out what it was, which wasn't really in the spirit of the quiz, as it's just for fun. There's no $10,000 prize.

[237SJ]

Sounds great fun. I`d like to do it but I`m working Friday. Maybe next time..

[squarebear]

No problem. The quiz will still be available until next month's quiz, so you can always click on the link and do it for fun. I post the results here once everyone's completed their answers.

Sorry SQ, I've just realised I'm going to be on a ferry on Friday night.
Next time I hope !!
