Ludo's Weekly Quiz!


Recommended Posts

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.

****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.
