ReplyDeleteNo comment.
DeleteI didn't know the answers to #5 and #6 but got all the others.
ReplyDeleteNot bad. Give yourself a hefty pat on the back Elsie.
DeleteWithout checking back on your posts, I got 7 out of 10. Not bad, even if I say so myself (and I have never been to portugal, but you can tell I am not into football).
ReplyDeleteOnly I decide if your performance was "not bad"! It was not bad.
DeleteOh, I did terrible this week.
ReplyDeleteAt least you tried!
Delete8 out of 10.
ReplyDeleteWhich did you get wrong?
Delete3 and 6.
DeleteI only got 2 ! I know very little about Portugal ,( and `No 9 was an educated guess !)
ReplyDeleteStick to propagating christmas cacti Frances!
Delete9 out of 10 this time.
ReplyDeleteClever clogs or as they say in Portugal - obstruções inteligentes!
DeleteWell, there's a surprise, I actually got them all right - and 5 & 6 were a wild guess! Must be a fluke, so I'm going to have a cup of coffee to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteYou are THE WINNER Carol. Well done!
Delete1. Red and green?
ReplyDelete2. Lisbon.
3. 4. To check back would be cheating.
5. Madeira.
6. Did they come to Australia? I think so. Confusingly the 1900s was the 20th century and the we are now in the 21st century. A few hundred years ago, some years before you founded my country as prison for those who stole a penny.
7. Algarve.
8. Duh, port. We drank some in a port cellar.
9. Belem Tower?
10. What do we call it? Portuguese tart. I can think of one thing a Portuguese tart may be filled with, but in the case, it must be custard. Egg based custard?
I personally did not turn Australia into a prison! Good effort but zero marks for Q3 & 4.
DeleteIf No. 9 is Belém tower, which I assume it is, then I've learned something. I only know Belém as a city in Brazil -- I didn't realize it was named for a location in Portugal, though that makes sense. I do remember Pastel de Nata from my time in Lisbon -- yum!
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be keeping your total score under wraps. I wonder why?
Delete1. I always find there are two choices: red and blue or red and green, and I'm going with the latter.
ReplyDelete2. Lisbon, sadly, is the only name I can think of, so I'll say Lisbon.
3. Pretty Spot?
4. Um, Pretty Spot Lighthouse? Just a hunch without cheating.
5. Haven't a clue!
6. I'm saying 15th
7. I'm guessing it's not South Portugal?
8. Well, you just gave this one to me: Port.
9. Belém Tower; the other answers were cute but ...
10. I think it's a pale colored Nata?
I realise that you are intellectually challenged Bob so this was an excellent effort! Five out of ten is brilliant for a middle-aged American male!
DeleteI didn't even try, Neil. Too difficult for me...
ReplyDeleteNever mind Ellen. I guess it was not your kind of quiz.
DeleteForgotten about "Quiztime?" I don't understand. Have you had them before?
ReplyDeleteYes but you but you have been an awkward contestant.
