Bbc Quiz : Week 38

[Buenchico]

You're not going to have much of a problem beating me this week!

I only managed a paltry TWO out of seven in the adult quiz

. . . and a lousy TWO out of five in the junior one too

(After all of the publicity, I couldn't even get the tennis question right!)

So the big question from me this week isn't 'Can you beat me? but, simply, 'By what whopping great margin can you beat me?'

;-)

[Buenchico]

'Miserable' it might well be, Brainiac, but it's still 50% more than I could manage this week!

Thanks Chris,

5/7 (nearly an adult)

2/5 (definitely not a kid this week- although I knew the tennis one having been bread and buttered in the Bromley area until I got married !).

[Buenchico]

Well done with that decent 5, Twix! (It's been a tricky week for most people, with not many high scores around).

It's good to know that you're just as childlike (or not) as me ;-)

[Ken4155]

Almost rolled a 'snake-eyes' but the last question in the junior version saved me the ignomy. 1/7 and 2/5 :-((
In fact, had it not been for the tennis questions, i may not even of had the guts to post my scores!

[Ken4155]

And who have i caught that off? "..may not even 'of' had the guts..." I never say of instead of have.

[Buenchico]

Oh dear, Ken! You're certainly not alone (and not even last) though. It's definitely proved to be a tricky week quiz-wise!

Better luck next week ;-)

[Buenchico]

I had noticed your minor grammatical error but I was too polite to mention it, Ken ;-)

[Ken4155]

Low scores and not being able to speak proper English. Obvious, isn't it? I'm morphing into a moron :-(((((

[Buenchico]

I don't need to morph, Ken. I'm already there ;-)

[JJ109]

3 & 2 respectively. Not good - but I am not last!

[Toorak]

4 on the adult quiz

Don’t do the other one to avoid total humiliation :-)

[Buenchico]

Latecomers sneaking in after I'd gone to bed, I see!

Not brilliant, maybe, JJ109, but still better than me!

>>> Don’t do the other one to avoid total humiliation

That's called 'cowardice', Toorak ;-)
(You still managed to match my aggregate score anyway, even though you only did the one quiz!)

[10ClarionSt]

So, you think you were bad, Chris? 3/7 in the adult and only 1/5 in the kids for me. I'm off to remedial!

[Buenchico]

Well that's the same aggregate as I scored, 10CS - and a bit more grown up too!

Let's hope that we both do a bit better next week!

[MargoTester]

Well i got 7 ......but that was the second attempt, the first time I scored a big fat 0. :-))) 2 on the junior one

[emmie]

6,
4

[Buenchico]

Oops!

I've only just noticed a couple of latecomers! Sorry about that!

Oh dear, Margo! Better luck next week!
(At least you managed to score a maximum on your 2nd attempt though. I've been known not to!)

Fantastic, Emmie! You're almost doubly perfect!

[lady-janine]

6 and 5 for me this week Chris.
Hope you and furries are well. My little friend died 6 days ago. Missing her.

Sad news LadyJ x

[Buenchico]

I think that 5 of yours is our only maximum score in either quiz this week, Lady-J, with your 6 added to it taking you right to the top of the tree!

I'm sad to read of the loss of your furry friend; I'm sure she will have had a lovely life with you though.
