peasy23 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 A sparkling 8/10 to finish the week. Knew the first 4 plus the author and movie, guessed Beethoven and NRL. As if Australian politics isn't bad enough that's a few Kiwi ones we've had lately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Results still required include: @Audaces Fortuna Juvat , @deej and @irvine_buddie. In the meantime, it's time for the EtADDJJT final!!!!! The two teams vying for the silverware are MSU - who is a cup final debutante, vs Alang1993 - who fielded a team of youngsters in the league in preparation. And because it's the final, we're not pissing about with multiple choice. 2 x sets of 10 questions below. A couple of easy ones. Some hard. Some harder still.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 BWV has set the bar at a very impressive 14/20. Btw, number 10 is a bit of a stinker but I'll give you a clue ... most scientific names consist of 2 words and so does the name of this animal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Apologies for the tardiness, if you been away at Center Parcs for the week after which has seriously impeded my P&B quizzing time. How inconvenient. Anyway , couple of 4/10s for Thursday and Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 And Frankie has banged in an impressive 17 goals, but since he's not in the final, it counts for nothing except pride 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) And 13/20 for Helpma, who had to wipe a tear from his eye as he harked back to the days when there were only 92 elements (incidentally Uranium is the 92nd element and it was discovered in 1789).... so a good effort from Methuselah. (btw, I appreciate that some elements with a higher atomic number were discovered before lower numbers, but I still think Helpma has forgotten a few).
