Bbc Quiz : Week 10
35 Answers
Quiz time again!
We’ve got the usual three quizzes from Aunty Beeb this week, PLUS some BONUS QUIZZES that I found hiding away on her website.
I started off with a ‘middling’ FOUR out of seven in the main quiz this week:

‘Middling’ too, for me, in the junior quiz, with THREE out of five:
https:/
It was a much better week for me though in the Timed Teaser, with NINE out of ten:
https:/
So that’s a better-than-usual aggregate score of 16 for me but I reckon that quite a few of you will still beat me, as there seemed to be a lot of easy questions this week!
The BONUS QUIZZES are taken from BBC Bitesize, which is primarily targeted at teenagers doing GCSE revision. However the quizzes have nothing at all to do with any GCSE syllabus, so I reckon that they’re worth a go:
The first one is about collective nouns. I thought I knew quite a bit about them but I could only manage a score of THREE out of nine here:
https:/
The next one is about British motorways. As I’m the sort of boring old nerd who can bore people rigid at parties (if anyone is ever silly enough to invite me to one, that is) with my knowledge of the country’s roads, I did somewhat better here, achieving a score of SIX out of nine:
https:/
Lastly (for this week), here’s a quiz about opening lines from famous novels. I surprised myself by scoring NINE out of 11 with this one:
https:/
(The observant among you might notice links to further quizzes on those page but I’m saving them for next week!)
So there’s plenty there for you to go at, I think!

I thought that, even though I'd managed a decent score on the three regular quizzes, you'd still beat me, Lie-in King - and I'm unsurprised to find out that I was right! Well done ;-)
Well done on your impressive scores with the bonus quizzes too. You're onbviously not going to get lost on a motorway ;-)

Bang in the middle on the first two, Arky, but a bit over it on the third one, thus proving that you're 'better than average' this week, I think ;-)
[Why not try the bonus quizzes?]
Hi, Campbellking! You're clearly a literary genius!
I hope that you're enjoying "kitty chaos" ;-)
My lot are still determined to prove that they own my bed and all my chairs too, with me only graciously being given their permission to use them when it suits them ;-)
