New quiz please.

[doogied]

I'm not having much luck with AB just now, I've tried to look back to find some new quizzes that I saw on the site a few days ago, but I can never get further back than page 10. Please could I have the new quiz details again.
Thanks

There's a new one advertised on page 2.

Yes FoxLee2, I saw that one, it's the ones from earlier on that I wanted to find. Thanks, anyway.

What you've all been waiting for!!!!......

"G" is for GAMES PEOPLE PLAY: The New Dragonfly Quiz

Consider the following cryptic clues ~ all answers begin with the letter "G"

1. Scientist places current in unfinished galleon (7)
2. Whip up with an old spoon? (4)
3. What Midas used to fish for Solidago (9)
4. Author not recognised working by spirit lamp? (5-6)
5. Biblical location stops No. 1 ending on Earth (7)

The first is a person's name, the second a game, then a plant, followed by an occupation and the final one is a place name.

Interested? There are 100 similar clues in the Third Dragonfly Quiz entitled "G is for Games People Play" which contains clues to 50 Games and 50 words starting with the letter "G" (with five themed groups of 10).

You will have until the beginning of August 2008 to submit your answers and �50 has been allocated for prizes ~ including a prize for obtaining the average score and another prize for scoring below the average!

Once again, the Questions have been set by Krophta (aka crofter).
