Bbc Quiz Of The Year
55 Answers
Christmas greetings from me to all of the Friday quiz ‘regulars’ (and, of course, to ‘occasional visitors’ and ‘first-timers’ too!)
It’s time for the big BBC Quiz of The Year but I’ll just get a few other things out of the way first though:
ADVERT NUMBER ONE: For anyone who’s not yet seen Woodelf’s website (which I know that he’s keen to promote) and who would like to see his fine paintings (which he’s created despite being totally blind) please click here: http://
ADVERT NUMBER TWO: For anyone who enjoys wildlife photos, and who missed the handful of seal pics I posted a couple of days ago, please see here: https:/
(They’re not exhibition quality but I still quite like them anyway)
Moving on at last then . . .
There appears to be no junior quiz from Aunty Beeb this week but anyone who’s a bit bored over Christmas might care to try some of these themed kids’ quizzes instead: https:/
(I’ve not tried any myself yet. If I did, I suspect that I might get some appallingly low scores!)
We do, however, have a Timed Teaser this week, where I could only score a lousy THREE out of ten. (It was one of those weeks where I actually knew several of the answers but still clicked incorrectly through trying to beat that ruddy fast-moving timer bar!)
https:/
Moving onto the big annual quiz, it comes (as usual) in four parts, with thirteen questions in each part . . .
January to March is covered here:
https:/
I managed a ‘middling’ SEVEN out of thirteen.
April to June can be found here:
https:/
I was bang in the middle again, with another SEVEN out of thirteen
July to September is here:
https:/
Yet again, I scored SEVEN out of thirteen. That’s probably not unusual though – people often say that I’m “quite big around the middle” ;-)
You can test out your (relatively) short-term memory here, with questions from October to December:
https:/
I finally moved off my regular score of seven, and in the right direction too, with NINE out of thirteen.
Tell us all your scores below and of course, HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

5's a better score than many people (including me!) have managed on the time quiz this week, Ken ;-)
Your second half of the year scores are very impressive too!
The odds of managing to score zero in one of the quarterly quizzes using shear guesswork, Caran, are 1 in 195. So you've certainly managed to achieve something that's quite difficult to do this week!
;-)
At least you got gradually better. Let's hope that the improvement continues throughout the coming year ;-)
