Bbc Quiz : Week 16

[Buenchico]

Hmmm.

It only seems like a few days since I last posted the quiz links but the calendar seems to be telling me that the world is a week older and I’m a decade older. Er, how does that work then?

Oh well, let’s get started anyway . . .

Another ‘middling’ start for me in the main quiz this week, with a score of FOUR out of seven:

Nearly perfect for me in the kids’ quiz though, with FOUR out of five:

A decent enough (in my opinion) score of SEVEN out of ten for me in the Timed Teaser this week:

So I make that an aggregate of score of 15 for you to better if you’re to beat me this week. (You should definitely never trust a maths teacher to add up tough!).

Will Lie-in King come out on top (as he nearly always does), I wonder, or will Karamia upgrade her fantastic double-perfect score from last week to a triple-perfect one this week, I wonder?

It’s YOUR turn now, anyway!

Just 4.

[Buenchico]

^^^ Ah, but all the very best people will score 4 on the main quiz this week, I feel, David ;-)

[Karamia]

Good Evening Chris!
Of course I let you beat me this week as it's your birthday!
I had such high hopes after my triumph last week, but sadly it's back to Earth with a bump.
3/7, 3/5, 5/10
Oh well, there's always next week.
Wishing you and the terrific trio a fabulous week :-)

Good evening. I hope you are enjoying your seventh decade. I've excelled myself on the first two quizzes, full house for both but 5/10 for timed. I'm afraid I've beaten your aggregate again, chico, it can't continue!

[Buenchico]

It's very kind of you let an old man beat you, Karamia ;-)

Thanks once again for your lovely posts (and pictures) yesterday. The cats and I are, indeed, having a lovely week. (OpenReach didn't help much though by spending the past two days noisily digging up the pavement alongside my house and then leaving me without a working phone line! I'm having to use my mobile phone as a hotspot to post tonight).

I hope that you've been having a lovely week too and that you'll have an equally lovely weekend!

[Buenchico]

I know that I said that maths teachers can't be trusted to add up, Roo, but I reckon that I'm now commencing my eighth decade of life, rather than my seventh ;-)

Well done on taking over from Karamia, who scored a double maximum with the first two quizzes last week! You might well be our champion this week - but I'm determined to beat you next week ;-)

[roopower]

Maths never was a good subject for me!

[maggiebee]

Some excellent guesses this week! 6/7 for the main quiz and 2/5 for the kid's one

[maggiebee]

Sorry forgot the times quiz - a miserable 4/10 for that.

[Buenchico]

At least you're a near-perfect grown-up (albeit not one who's very good in sprint races) this week, Maggie ;-)

[Sam1960]

Evening Chris.

5/7

3/5

Hope this finds you well, and that you also enjoyed your day yesterday ; ))

[Buenchico]

Hiya, Sam!

Well done on that big improvement in your scores this week!
(Thanks for letting me beat you though!)
;-)

I'm recovering well from eating far too much in the Cosy Club yesterday evening, thank you, and I hope that you're well too.

[Buenchico]

Welcome to The Fabulous Fifteen Club, Sharon ;-)

[Lie-in King]

5/7
3/5
7/10

I don't think I'm top quite as often as you think, Chris, but finally off 6 for the last quiz will do me :-)

[Milo2]

5, 4 and 5 this week.

[Buenchico]

Welcome to The Fabulous Fifteen Club anyway, Lie-in King ;-)

Good, solid scores this week, Milo2!

[Ken4155]

5/7, 4/5 and just 3/10 - but i did rush the timed quiz to get back to the Arsenal match :-)

[Buenchico]

Excuses, excuses, Ken!
(After all, everyone has to rush the third quiz don't they? That's the whole point of it!)
;-)

It looks like Southampton might be spoiling Arsenal's party tonight ;-)

[Caran]

5/7. 2/5. 5/10.
