Sylvester Sneekly Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) EDIT: If you're taking part in the league, we're currently using http://quizoftheday.co.uk/ ... if you've missed a day, you can access it from the archive here: http://quizoftheday.co.uk/archive/ ... please say which day (or quiz) you're posting, just so we can avoid confusion. ------ It's a simple enough premise. Every day, they publish 10 multiple-choice general knowledge questions. What isn't simple is the questions. I've had a 2 or 3 many times. I've achieved 8 out of 10 a few times, but never the Holy Grail: 10 out of 10. The day that happens, I'll probably end up adding it to my CV. Here's a link to today's. I got a very healthy 8, my lack of knowledge about the gait of Icelandic horses let me down... http://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2013/dec/13/daily-quiz-13-december-2013 Edited April 6, 2019 by Cardinal Richelieu 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvester Sneekly Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Got 10 out of 10 on the Anchorman one the other day. I was about to say that that would be much easier than the daily quiz, but then I took it and got a pitiful 4 out of 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Skidmarks Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 6/10 Is there a link to the Anchorman quiz? I've got work to pretend to do here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodVanBear Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) 5/10. Meh edit: 9/10 on the Anchorman one. Utterly disgusted with myself. Edited December 13, 2013 by KnightswoodBear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Anybody here do it? It's a simple enough premise. Every day, they publish 10 multiple-choice general knowledge questions.

I got the Icelandic horse one correct Me>>>>You. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eindhovendee Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 7/10. Don't have a clue about showjumping, Iceland or a big chunk of the USA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Ah, but where is your cut off for "West Coast". Defined by any Weegieness in the accent imo. Very detailed and precise: I am however undecided on Mull because it's one of those holiday destinations like Rothesay, Millport, Dunoon etc and West Coasters typically don't like venturing beyond their boundary to mix with the (sic) Savages. Eta: 5 for me. Edited December 13, 2013 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

microdave Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I guessed them all as well and also scored 4. There were words I didn't know existed in there. And not all Icelandic either! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthewing Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 5/10, not brilliant, but not bad for a few wild guesses. 10/10 on the Anchorman quiz though. WHAMMY! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginge123 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 5/10. I knew 3 and took educated guesses at the Kathryn Bigelow and Jeremy Bentham questions. Anchorman quiz was 8/10. Disgusted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Sneekly Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 http://www.theguardian.com/news/quiz/2013/dec/16/daily-quiz-16-december-2013 5 out of 10, and I was lucky to get that. Astronomers and followers of World Religions might fare better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 8/10- didn't know the one about the religion or the moons, guessed the one about the cards. Knew the other 7 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 7/10. Not bad considering I got the first two wrong. Desert Island discs ain't my strong point either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
