dee_62 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 1,3,4,8 & 10 all correct. Pretty much knew them all. Disappointed with a last second change of mind to the PM answer. 5/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT the quiz is as much about process as content and Dundee Backwards is absolutely terrific in his commitment to the thread. This is very true (the latter that is... although I've no doubt about the former given your daughter's horsey pedigree). . But you're right. I'd have given up on a daily quiz ago were it not for Edmund consistently posting the Oz quiz for well over a year now. I think the few times he's not posted it was only when some impatient young upstart beat him to the punch. Re: the Edmund "patter" ... It's probably buried deep somewhere in this thread, but I think I once made a "hilarious" observation about how Edmund and Eednud look very similar, and instead of leaving it at that, doggedly repeated it for the next 100 pages.... See also "Glasgs" as my location. Apologies @edmund @Eednud ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horses for courses, chap. Your spreadsheets and Edmund's commitment combine to make it the 2nd nicest thread on P&B 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Managed to avoid a collapse so far this week. Worked out the city and executed. Failed to guess the moon and went wrong on the tennis participant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 5/10, happy with that, only knew the PM, and nearly messed that up. Could have been 6 if I hadn't changed my mind on the last one. But if my granny... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 5/10, knew 3 of them. Bizarre coincidence on one of the questions. When I was waiting in the hotel lobby on Monday night for our taxi to Denpasar Airport, whatever TV channel they had on was showing the Great Australian Spelling Bee. I still managed to get the wrong answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Saint Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 6, 50/50 wrong on Dustin Hoffman and surprisingly got the spelling bee wrong too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Well with most of the results now in, the league couldn't be more exciting if we all took our clothes off. Three Four teams are tied at the top, including the Leicester City of the P+B league, Jagfox99. Things are equally interesting at the bottom, with Alang1993 (a previous champion), languishing at the bottom. Half the teams (including my own) are still in danger of picking up a blackstar of shame...

eckthearab Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Sorry for late entry folks, busy morning. A cheery 8/10 with only 6 and 10 wrong. Couple guesses but knew 6 of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Getting in on the Friday quiz early (my phone won't let me post the link).A big chance that I will fall to my first black star, a disappointing 3/10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 An end of season mid table performance results in 4/10. Would have been 5 if hadn't made last minute California change.

The_Kincardine Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 An insipid 5/10. Strigiformes are brilliant, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
