Ludo*1 Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 I'll post the answers and results tomorrow. Reason being, I go on holiday on the 31st. Therefore so that I can run the quiz with minimum disruption I'll run it from Friday to Friday for a few weeks before resorting to Sunday to Sunday as would be normal.

Bully Wee Villa Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 That depends... did you put ... A wee bird? A ridiculous guess although the right answer is odd too. No I didn't put that, I put... His head. Haven't checked if I'm right yet though, so you never know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 ****Please Submit Your Answers In A NEW PM**** I've deleted all the old ones so I won't receive your message unless you create a new PM. Going back to week 1, looks as if most got the Keanu Reeves and Michael Crichton questions correct. Surprised how many struggled on the football question. For the Charles Kennedy question, most plumped for Gordon Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Week 2 sent. Ludo, these questions are feckin' brutal, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 They were brutal question this week. 3 I'm sure are right 2 I think I know but could also be wrong 1 was just a stab at a random keeper that had played at Aberdeen. Would be happy with a score of 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Good round 2 Ludo, educated guesses possible for most of them. I think I'm good for 5 again and have had plausible stabs at the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
