The Kinoulton Scouts Christmas 2008 Quiz on Dingbats and Connections is now finished, and details of the answers and winners are on the website at
http://www.kinoultonquiz.co.uk/ From observations on this website and in the sheets returned, it would appear people found the Connections and Word Snake fairly straight-forward in general, but a few of the dingbats turned out to be rather tricky. The ones which caused the most problems were some of the ones I created myself, which were therefore impossible to look up on the Internet!
I'd appreciate your comments on the format and difficultly of this quiz and of previous years, so that I can pitch future quizzes at the style most people prefer. In fact, whilst you Answerbank go-ers do pretty well on these sorts of quizzes, average Scout families who don't regularly do quizzes can often find the questions too cryptic. It's a balancing act with the difficulty to keep everyone happy, and perhaps this year I erred to much on the hard side.
The support of everyone for the Kinoulton Scouts through these quiz sheets is very much appreciated.
