It's "Quiztime" once again with more questions to tease you. This week, your genial host will be giving you a helping hand by providing multiple-choice answers for each question. As usual, the correct answers will be given in the "Comments" section. Please don't despair if you score zero. After all, there are more important things in life than quizzing - though for the life of me I can't think what they are.

I scored a 90%, only missing the final question. I relied on the tried and true "go with your first thought" approach. I can easily overthink things if I don't.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fine score Kelly. You must be very clever.
DeleteOnly six correct this time, I'm slipping.
ReplyDeleteTut-tut Deb! Too much time looking out of the window I think.
DeleteOnly 40%! Ouch! I got Brian Jones, Paul Gauguin, Doug, and of course Germany!
ReplyDeleteDo they have schools in America?
DeleteOuch! Damn Neil, you didn't have to go there! Haha! Just kidding. :)
DeleteThe schools I went to were mostly crap, if I'm being honest. I wish I had gotten a better education but the small town I come from was (is) very poor and the schools were not that great. They're even worse now, from what I understand. I can't believe a few of my classmates chose to stay there and send their children through such an underfunded school district. I feel cheated and would never have allowed a child of mine to attend such substandard schools.
A great excuse for only getting four out of ten!
DeleteFour, I suck at these.
ReplyDeleteYou had mentioned that you were not feeling well and hadn't been walking much. Are you feeling better now?
Some people have it worse but I am now pretty sure that I am suffering from plantar fasciitis.
DeleteHave you been to see a doctor? Or a physiotherapist? Orthotics really help, and lots of stretching.
DeleteI have started doing the exercises.
Delete1. I picked Benito; I picked wrong!
ReplyDelete2. I picked Lana; I again picked wrong.
3. I picked Brian Jones; I was correct!
4. I picked Gauguin; I was correct AGAIN!
5. I picked 'I don't have a clue.'; Incorrect AGAIN!
6. I picked Top Cat; i know my cats, so I was correct!
7. I picked Bat Eared Fox because I saw bat before I saw the choices; I was luckily correct.
8. I need a map because I had no idea; incorrect once more!
9. Doug, Douglas; I knew this once so correct!
10. Germany; lucky CORRECT guess.
Not too bad ......
Six out of ten. Your father will be turning in his grave.
DeleteThis wasn't so easy; I knew only a few for sure but gave it my best guess with others, mistaking Betty Grable for Lana Turner, not having a clue about the former Rolling Stones member (they were never "my" guys), having seen the cartoon character before but never having actually seen any cartoon with him in it, and so on.
ReplyDeleteNo. 10 was especially hard for me!!
I thought you would struggle with No. 10!
Delete6 again.
ReplyDelete"Must try harder... David is too easily distracted."
DeleteNine this week. Had no clue about the first person. When did Bolivia add the emblem to the yellow stripe? It doesn't show on the flags pages of my atlas.
ReplyDeleteWas your atlas published before World War II?
DeleteNo.
DeleteSuccess for me on all but Bolivia. I am rubbish with flags.
ReplyDeleteWell done JayCee! What a clever lass you are!
Delete7....not bad for a lot of guesses!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you used your powers of deduction Frances.
DeleteI only missed Bolivia's flag.
ReplyDeleteBetty Grable was who it wasn't rather than who it was.
I don't know why I knew Douglas.
The body of the animal looked like a fox.
The people of Bolivia may rise up against you Andrew!
DeleteI would prefer to open the box, Michael. I've got the key to Box 13. I did not say no.
ReplyDeleteI would prefer you to get in the box Tasker!
DeleteDid you put me in the naughty corner for getting one wrong?
ReplyDeleteNot in the naughty corner but on the pedestal of champions!
DeleteI only got six correct, though I was close to picking the correct one on the 4 that I missed! At least I got the geography/history ones correct!
ReplyDeleteHell! You were a teacher Michael! What qualifications do you need these days?
Delete80% correct this week, passing for a change.
ReplyDeleteGood lad David!
Delete7/10 this week - could do better!
ReplyDeleteJust as your teachers used to say Carol!
Delete7 out of 10. Missed 2, 5 and 7.
ReplyDeleteVery good for an octogenarian!
Delete6 out of 10. That's good for me.
ReplyDeleteI missed only the African mammal. I've never heard of a bat-eared fox, but those are some serious ears!
ReplyDeleteWith those ears I am sure he has heard of you!
