Warwick School Quiz
36 Answers
OK , this is an absolute stinker of a quiz, I do it every year and only ever manage about half the questions and I don't believe anyone has ever answered all of them. How about an answerbank team? There's no prize just the kudos of getting the highest score.

No I'm genuine rmleake I'm really not after the prize (which I believe really is modest like a box of chocs), I just posted the question and then genuinely haven't had time to sit down and do the research needed to complete (?) the quiz , so if you want to send in the entry please do, good luck.
I normally get the quiz before Christmas and the whole family has a go but didn't get it this year until too late, most of the ones I know the answers too have been answered here already and I've struggled with the rest. Sorry

Hi Gandolf 34 - can only help with Q13 . They are all common sayings eg (a) T?DMAR = two wrongs don't make a right. Haven't managed to crack 5,10,or 12 myself. Would love a start on 5! Was it you who got 6? What is the explanation for that? I'm not worried about prizes either , just thought a couple of us were doing all the work! Fun quiz isn't it?
