QfC

[keyboardix]

What word means "stir" and/or "wisdom" and sounds the same, but is spelled differently ? What comes next in this sequence ? 82,833; 9,204; 1,023; 114 - I really do not know what I should be looking for - please can anyone enlighten me ? !! ?

1 incite - insight ?

[nescio]

it is probably easier to start with 114 and see how to get to 1023. Then see how to get to 9204, etc.
Then work backwards.
Clue: multiply

[Fibonacci]

83833 + 3 then divide by 9 = 9204
9204 + 3 then divide by 9 = 1023 etc.

As this quiz cost £7 it would have been nice if people had asked just for clues and not answers it must put people off buying it at that price when so many have started to be asked in the last few days before it is due in

[bibblebub]

13

add 3 then divide by 9

[keyboardix]

Many, many thanks to both of you for helping me to complete the most difficult quiz that I have ever tackled - and I am getting on more than a bit in age !!!!!

[keyboardix]

To Smouse - Why do you bother to visit this website, if all that you can do is moan, and ask no question ? You have not even got your facts right - the £7 payment requested is (so I was led to believe) a £5 compulsory donation and the remaining £2 only, for the actual quiz. I regret that you are unhappy with me asking for assistance with 2 clues, having solved the remaining 128 myself. And finally, what evidence do you have to make the statement that "people are put off from purchasing this quiz" ? My supposition is that being put off is when they realise how easy or difficult the quiz is.

[smouse]

Either way you word it it costs £7 and I think anyone paying that amount would like to think that they will send it in with blanks and support the charity and not worry if they win
Interesting that you have done the rest and not answered anyones query on some of the other questions especially the bridge one so you must not be a quizzer who is willing to share
and I didnt moan I just said couldnt you have asked for clues not answers

[boysinblue68]

Let's put it another way. You've already bought the quiz, so the charity has already benefitted from your donation/entry fee. So, why do you need to get other people to fill in your gaps? Why can't you have a guess or leave a blank space? All you are doing is turning a brilliant quiz into a lottery and as smouse says putting others off from buying it now or in the future. Too many quizzes are spoilt/ruined in this way (Great Brain Quiz folded because people kept on asking for answers expressly against the wishes of the quizsetter).

[boxtops]

Which quiz is it, smouse? If we know there's a long time until it has to be submitted, most of us won't offer answers anyway, it spoils the fun for people still trying to work the answers out for themselves. People ARE put off buying quizzes if the answers are already being listed on the internet.

[chorley9]

It does finish on March 1st but the point is its a hard quiz that people have spent a lot of time finding the answers to.
Its annoying when people just ask and are given the answers easily.

Are you going to return the compliment and share with us
64 @ 65?

[chorley9]

Probably not.

[julia-mag]

Well it won't take them long to mark mine, its gone in with so many blanks!

[ladyalex]

It seems a bit mean of you not to share your answers, keyboardix.....

[keyboardix]

Why are all of you critics trawling this site, other than for answers ? You have all benefitted from the the two clues that I posed. I shall raise my glass to you all if I win.

[pulse876]

Looks like he's only prepared to ask for answers on this quiz but not give any in return. But never mind. He thinks you've all benefitted by him asking the questions! Which of course is a really big help if you already knew the answers to those questions! But clearly he would never dream of being a critic. Oh no that's incorrect - see www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Q

[keyboardix]

Message for the above idiot. I criticised somebody (in the page to which you draw attention) and would do so again, if, as on that occasion, somebody asked for answers TWELVE weeks before the quiz closed. The two queries that I raised yesterday are in a quiz with a 1st March closing date.
I am grateful to you in one sense for inviting your cronies to that 18-months' old posting, where the AB Editor says if you don't want to learn the answers from AnswerBank, don't read (or Trawl !) the questions. I consider this matter closed now, and I shall add nothing to what has been said by both sides.

[pulse876]

So it's OK to criticise people for some reasons but not others? And to call people idiots who happen to point out the inconsistencies in your attitude? And I now note you consider the matter closed. So you clearly think it's perfectly reasonable to ask for help on a quiz but are not prepared to give any answers in return. I just hope the helpful people who've answered your questions remember that when you come asking again.
