Buenchico's Big Quiz

[Buenchico]

When I mentioned this on last Friday's BBC Quiz thread, there seemed to be some possible interest in it.  So here goes . . .

I hosted a 75-question quiz night at our local community centre a month ago.  For anyone who's mad enough to want to try it (perhaps with family or friends over Christmas?), here's a link to it:
https://easyupload.io/jvlod2

Instructions (although they're probably not necessary anyway):
To download the zip file, simply click on the 'Download' button.
Save it to anywhere convenient on your computer (such as the Desktop or 'Documents).
To unzip the file, right-click on it and select 'Extract all'.
(The downloaded file can then be deleted).
Double-click the 'Quiz for AB' folder to open it.
The 'Welcome' document explains how the quiz was presented but it's not actually necessary to read it.
The 'Questions' document, unsurprisingly, has the actual questions in it (except for those for the picture rounds, which are the images in the 'Women', 'Flags' and 'Men' documents).
If you see '[Audio]', open the 'Audio' folder and double-click on the question number to play the relevant movie/TV/advert/poetry audio.
Easy peasy!

The winning score on the night was 44/75, so that'll give you a target to work towards!

Have downloaded the questions, Buen. Where do we put the answers?

Thank you!

Looking forward to getting me teeth into that in due course. I doubt very much to be anywhere near 44.

[Buenchico]

It's a DIY job, Tilly2.

Write your answers on a piece of paper and then check them against the 'Answers' document.

 

Hi, Alba.

The lowest score on the night was 15/75.  My two friends in Italy managed 21/75 though, despite obviously being at something of a disadvantage when it came to the (UK-based) TV and advert rounds, etc

Unfortunately all I get is a message saying "cannot open files in archive" so I might have to skip this one 😟

[Mozz71]

don't worry. Figured it out. Stupid tablet! (And even more stupid user)

[Buenchico]

^^^ Try again, Mozz71.

When I first tried, earlier on, the relevant link was simply marked 'Download'.  On trying again now, it's showing as 'Free Turbo Download'.  It's definitely working for me though.

[Buenchico]

^^^ Ignore!

Crossed posts!

[Mozz71]

35 (and a ½ if you let me have that for only getting one of the two Ed Sheeran songs)

 

I should lose most of those points for thinking #20 was Eleanor Roosevelt! (I won't say who it is, but I facepalmed)

[Buenchico]

Well done, Mozz71!

That score would have put you around 3rd place on the night which, given that would have come from a team of four people (rather than from a solo effort), is quite impressive!

Indeed, I'm impressed simply by your tenacity in working your way through it all!

Thanks for joining in!

[Mozz71]

Thank you Buen. It took a while to open all the soundbites, but I'm thankful to have gotten most of them. Including the Kid's programme theme, which was right up my street lol

[Buenchico]

Thanks again, Mozz.

It took me ages to edit all of the audio files, so I'm glad that someone's found them useful 😊

Good Evening, Chris!

I have finally managed to complete your quiz tonight after giving it another try. My laptop is very slow and temperamental, with very little storage left. It would not open audio clues on my first few attempts, but I finally got there. 

I managed to score 32 / 75

(I wasn't going to share my final score as it was far below half marks, but I can see that it wasn't too bad after reading the other comments.)

My best rounds were Adverts, TV, General Knowledge and Famous Women, but as I expected I scored zero for the sport section.  

Q63 was my favourite - My son, who was passing by at the time it was playing, shouted out the answer to 63 at same time as I did, because we had watched all of these episodes during lockdown, so this gave us a laugh!

Thank you so much for sharing. I can imagine the hard work that went into putting this quiz together. Loved the mix of questions that gives everyone a chance at something. 

Good luck with the new quiz you are working on :-)

[Buenchico]

Hi Karamia!

Thanks for giving it a go!

If I recall correctly, you'd have come around 3rd (or perhaps just a little bit below there - but not by much!) among the 11 teams taking part.  For a solo effort, I'd say that's really impressive!

Well done too on doing well in the 'Famous Women' round, as most people found that one to be quite tricky.

The biggest laugh I got on the evening was when I played the poem with the naughty word in it 😁

I'm fairly well into drafting the questions for the next quiz (which will be on 12 February). A lot of people from the last one have said that they want to come again and I've even got friends from Italy planning to turn up for it!

Thanks once again!
