Albino Rover Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Welcome quizzers. We’ve just completed the most recent instalment of WFQIIA? to determine our new sponsor. That was merely a warm-up sprint. This one’s the marathon. Most of you know the drill already, but here's a quick run-through of the basics: The quiz is weekly. Generally the rounds will be posted each Saturday with a deadline of midnight the following Friday. It's a mixed ability quiz so the questions will be of mixed difficulty. Usually there will be a theme to each round and, as ever, guest rounds are very welcome so if you wish to host or submit a round of your own then feel free to PM me. The rules: Answers must be sent in a PM to me- please start a new PM each week as I will be deleting my PMs regularly. Deadlines are as per the P&B clock and are not negotiable. Answers sent within half an hour after the deadline will be counted but will be penalised with a 1 point deduction. For people's names I'm looking for first and last names for full marks. I won't be fussy on spelling. For foreign films I'll accept either the English or the "local" name. The quiz is meant to be contested in good faith, and there is no prize other than glory, so please don't cheat yourself out of it. You have about a week before the quiz starts. All going well, Round 1 will be posted next Saturday. All welcome. No sign-ups necessary, just remember to send me your answers each week and you’ll be counted.

KnightswoodBear Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Fucking ridiculous that I went out in the first round with a better score than half the group winners. Absolute stitch up. But aye, in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenElves Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'm in. Done well for my standards in last quiz, will try and match it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'll have a go as well. Do you apply the "foreign films" rule where a film has been released with a different name in different places, ie Road Train in Oz & Road Kill in other places?

Mr. Brightside Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 After a disappointing 4th place finish in the diddy cup, I'm going all the way in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was released under more than one name I'll try and account for that so Aussies don't miss out. FWIW, Road Train/Road Kill will not be involved in the quiz.

Loki Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yup I am in. I like these rounds as you get such a mix of genre and styles. Plenty of rounds I will get close to full marks in followed up by a round of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'll give this another go, I will likely be fairly poor again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside but about films was 10 Rillington Place originally released as Christie in UK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 It was originally released 2 decades before I was born, so I can't say with any certainty, but a quick search indicates that it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. I had a search as well and had same result as you but something in the back of my mind says it had a different title when I saw it when it first came out.

DA Baracus Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Why are folk declaring themselves 'in'? Did you not read the OP? Spackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 To be fair, it's not a bad idea to make a post in order to "subscribe" to the thread and ensure you don't miss any updates. And express excitement about the new quiz, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Subscribed posts are pretty much my first port of call. And on my mobile, they're my only port of call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie95 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Count me in again, although I can't see myself improving on my joint 2nd place finish last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
