Bbc Quiz : Week 21

[Buenchico]

Hello again!

[NB: There’s a BONUS QUIZ down below this week!]

A fairly standard ‘middling’ start for me this week, with FOUR out of seven in the main quiz:

Only ‘passable’ for me in the junior quiz, with TWO out of FIVE in the junior quiz:

I managed to redeem myself a bit in Timed Teaser though, with SEVEN out of ten:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65665917

So that’s my fairly regular aggregate score of 13 for you all to beat (easily, no doubt, I'm sure!)

(I scored FIVE out of seven)

[wolf63]

I did the first one and got 0/7 so won't try the others.

I hope that the kittens are well.

[Buenchico]

That's called cowardice, Wolfie!

Chequers (who weighs around 9 kg) doesn't feel very kitten-like when he jumps on top of me when I'm in bed! They're all well though and managing to both keep me sane and drive me insane at the same time ;-)

I hope that you enjoy the long weekend and that you've got the new flat sorted out at last.

[cashier]

Four and four so far.

[cashier]

Five on the timed and four on geography.

[Buenchico]

Welcome to The Thirteen Club, Cashier!

. . . and well done on getting a decent score on the bonus quiz too!

[roopower]

Good evening, on a par with you to start with 4/7,3/5 for the childrens, 6/10 for timed and 4 for the bonus, geography not a strong point! Aggregate of 13 so didn't beat you.
My daughter has just had three kittens, she must be mad, but their collie is doing his best to babysit by trying to herd them together. He does a good job with the gerbils when they are on the floor in their balls!

[Buenchico]

Welcome to The Thirteen Club, Roo!

I reckon that 4/7 is actually quite a good score on the geography quiz. (I've got a bit of an advantage through my amateur radio hobby, where it helps to know where countries are). So well done!

[Toorak]

5, 3, 6 for me today

[Buenchico]

>>> "My daughter has just had three kittens"

Er, isn't that a job that's best left to cats ;-)

Anyway, I hope that you're ready to help her select new curtains for every room in her home, as she's undoubtedly going to be needing them very soon ;-)

[Buenchico]

You're in the lead, Toorak! Well done!

Are you going to try the bonus quiz?

[Toorak]

Just 3 for me on the bonus

[Buenchico]

Not too disastrous, anyway, Toorak ;-)

[kwillmott]

[Sam1960]

Evening Chris.

4/5

6/10

1/7

good in the middle, rubbish on the outside !!

Hope this finds you well ; ))

[Buenchico]

Joint leader (on the regular quizzes), Kwillmott! Well done!

(3/7 on the bonus quiz is a decent enough score too, I feel. Some of those questions aren't easy!)

[Buenchico]

Good evening, Sam.

Well done on being a near-perfect kid and a pretty good sprinter (but possibly a lousy travel agent!).
;-)

I still seem to have a pulse, so I cn't be doing too badly for an old 'un, thanks. I hope that you're well too and that you'll be able to enjoy the long weekend.

[Lie-in King]

5/7
3/5
7/10
4/7 - amazed I got that many :-)

[Buenchico]

Impressive scores, as always, Lie-in King! You're in the lead!

That geography quiz is targeted at teenagers but I reckon that there won't be many schoolkids doing very well on it ;-)

[jourdain2]

Following L-I-K isn't easy and I failed. :(
I thought I wasn't doing too badly on the main quizzes until I blobbed on the Timed Teaser.
5/7 3/5 4/10 = Aggregate 12
The extra one was awful .... 3/7 and one of those was a wild guess!!

[haras2]

4/7 v 2/7 Complicated disaster
2/5 v 3/5
7/10 v 7/10
13 v 12
5/7 v 4/7
What a lovely week it has been , both for cats and their staff (as Boatie used to say) :-))
