A Tricky Quiz

[Buenchico]

Jno posted a link to the Guardian's University Challenge quiz on my BBC quiz thread last Friday. I think that it deserves a wider audience, so (for all you brainboxes out there) here it is:

Jno's score (out of 15) was a fairly impressive 9, with sandyRoe doing nearly as well on 8. I've just had a crack at it and only managed a pathetic 5. (Nobody would ever want me on their pub quiz team!)

Any more takers?

pathetic 5 for me -kicking myself I got the one wrong about Stephenson's rocket though

[Zacs-Master]

3/15 disgraceful.

[Buenchico]

All the best people are on 5 though, APG ;-)

[Buenchico]

Oops, Zacs!

I guess we won't be seeing you on University Challenge any time soon then ;-)

Will you do better on the 'easy' quiz I posted, I wonder?

[calmck]

8 on the easy one

[maggiebee]

6 for me.

[Ken4155]

5/15 which equates to 5 good guesses as I didn't know the answer to any of the questions.

[JJ109]

8 for me!

[Buenchico]

Welcome to the elite little group on 5, Ken ;-)

6 is better than me anyway, Maggie!

8 is a very good score on such a hard quiz, JJ109! Well done!

8 on the (so-called) easy quiz is amazing, Calmck! (Most people only scored 3 or 4). It puts you in second place with that one!
