sweets and chocolate quiz

[poodledoo]

the 50 answers to this quiz are in alphabetical order, but I 've got two of the "b" answers the wrong way round. Has anyone else had this problem, or have I made a mistake?

[smouse]

mine are fine
is it 4 and 5?
if so 4 comes before 5 cos there is a space - just tried it on my spreadsheet

[poodledoo]

Yes it is smouse-its ironic you should pick those two without me telling you-in the answers I,ve got, 5 comes before 4 alphabetically, although they both start with the same 5 letter word. I,ve probably got the wrong answer for no.5. I'm pretty sure my answer to no 4 is correct.(Isn't it hard work without trying to give the answers away)

[smouse]

I think you will be right
I had this argument with my son about alphabetical
It seems if you have a word then a space then the same word to start the next one but the 6th letter is before the 5th letter in the one without a space its alphabetical

Now even I am confused b m
comes before bj

[poodledoo]

Correct smouse-at least I've got the same answers as you.Wonder if somebody from Sandbach School can arbitrate on this one?

[smouse]

I think it must be a generation thing (although I dont know your age - lol)
I am sure when I was at school they would have been the other way round but as I said before if you put the words into a spreadsheet and sort them alphabetically then 4 and 5 are right.

As the compiler I did what you have done Smouse and put all the answers into a spreadsheet. I hope that you are both enjoying it.

[smouse]

thanks but dont tell my son he's right - lol

[poodledoo]

thanks for the reply jodder-the spreadsheet method wins-refreshing to know that I,m not going senile and that I can still say the alphabet in the conventional order!
