Bbc Quiz : Week 50

[Buenchico]

Good evening, everyone.

Mince pies seem to have boosted my brain power a bit, enabling me to start off this week’s session with a score of SIX out of seven in the main quiz:

They’ve done nothing to make me more childlike though, as I could only manage a paltry ONE out of five in the junior quiz:

My enlarged waistline, from eating all of those ruddy mince pies, might possibly be responsible for my lousy performance in the sprint event. Just FOUR out of ten for me :(

So, with my aggregate score of only 11 this week, I reckon that most of you will beat me easily enough!

Your turn!

[Buenchico]

Well done. Toorak!

Those are definitely some of our better scores this week!

I obviously need the mince pies. I got 3/7, 3/5, and 4/10 (which include quite a few guesses) giving a total of 10.

[Buenchico]

I'm sure that everyone has a few guesses included in their scores, Canary42 ;-)

Enjoy your mince pies (preferably accompanied by a glass of port, or similar, of course!).

[Canary42]

Cheers !

Thanks Chris, a mixed bag this week especially as I didn't know any of the timed quiz answers so they were all guesses!

5/7
4/5
4/10

[1ozzy]

6/7

3/5

6/10

[Buenchico]

With that success in guessing, Twix, perhaps it might be worth investing in a National Lottery ticket in the morning?
(Well done on beating me!)

Hi, 1ozzy! You're a rare, but most welcome, poster on these threads. Nice to see you here!

Well done with those very impressive scores!

[JJ109]

Just 3 & 2 respectively!

[Buenchico]

Everybody's posting late tonight? Have you lot all been out clubbing or something?

You still doubled my score on the kids' quiz, anyway, JJ109 ;-)

Good Morning Chris - 8.41 a.m. here - just come in from a morning walk!

Early afternoon here, after a chilly start it's now warming up a bit.
Summer is still hiding somewhere ;-(

[campbellking]

5/7,2/5,5/10. Have deserted the kitties to spend a few nights in London so Bailey has gone back into hiding. Stay warm!

[10ClarionSt]

3/7 and 4/5. Somewhere in the middle, methinks.

[Buenchico]

Hi, Campbellking. Well done on beating me this week!

I hope that you'll enjoy London but, equally, I hope that you'll soon be back with Bailey and Puss Puss. They need you!

The same aggregate as me (across the two quizzes), 10CS, so it can't be too bad, can it?
