Quiz group – March/April 2023
The group got together twice in March and on both occasions there was a good attendance.
Our subjects for the first quiz centred around Valleys, General Knowledge, Miles, The Roman Empire, The Fashion World and the Animal Kingdom. Jokers were played in four of the rounds; two in the Animal Kingdom, ensuring that it came out on top. This said, without any jokers played, the Fashion World was a close second. Miles came out worst!
Here is a selection of the questions asked and I wonder how many you would have got right:
Where is Taylor Valley? What creature is Indiana Jones most afraid of? One league is equivalent to how many miles? What relation was Caesar Augustus to Julius Caesar? Who is credited with the design of the ‘little black dress’? Finally, a pandemonium refers to a group of which birds?
Our second quiz covered questions on The Coronation, Alloys, General Knowledge, Eat drink and be Merry, Chocolates and Operation Code Names. The players steered away from playing their joker in the Coronation and Alloys round. No idea why! This said, The Coronation was the round with the least number of points. Top of the pops went to the General Knowledge subject.
There were three jokers played on the chocolates and food subjects. Perhaps seen as more tasty. So where was Forrest Gump sitting when he said “ Life is like a box of chocolates?” or where was mayonnaise invented? Thinking of alloys, what two metals make up a UK 50p piece?
The Operation Code Names round included some teasers such as what was Operation Musketeer linked to?
Despite the 10th April being Easter Monday, there will be sufficient players to be able to hold the quiz. The other quiz is scheduled for the 24th April.
We certainly have some fun and the quiz master is often challenged regarding the answers; as yet he has not had to ask for police protection!! Feel free to join us for a taster session.
