Daily Quiz Update

[GlosRFC]

Congratulations to yesterdays winner - Butterbean.

In the cumulative stakes, Sparky still leads although that may well change after today. Presto and Mathare are still inseparable in the two remaining medal positions while Littlegaz has moved effortlessly into fourth place.

[Fadetoblack]

There's some interesting money on the exchanges for fadetoblack though......(Source: She-mail)

[GlosRFC]

So I see. It's LAY, LAY, LAY all the way :D

[Fadetoblack]

I left myself open for that didnt I :bnk

[GlosRFC]

Congratulations to yesterdays winner Mathare.

He's now cut Sparky's overall lead down to just 2 points but, as the quiz moves into a heavy metal stage, will he continue to overhaul him?

[vegyjones]

Even though the subject is Heavy Metal,
do we still not have a variety of topics...

Mine were ALL Rock questions... :yikes:

[plater]

Mine were about Lead - Copper and Iron :doh

[GlosRFC]

I suppose it depends on what the people setting the quizzes determine as heavy metal. Seeing as most of them are probably American and, over there, anyone with hair longer than their ears lumbering about the stage in a pair of spandex trousers is considered to be heavy metal, then most rock groups would probably fall into that category!

Never mind Vegy, we'll move onto general music next so you'll be able to astound us with your incredible and, dare I say, intimate knowledge of the Backstreet Boys and other assorted boy bands :D

[GlosRFC]

Well done to Fadetoblack, winner of yesterdays general music trivia.

In a topsy-turvy round, we now have a change at the top of the leaderboard. Long-time front-runner Sparky has now slipped to third place as the reins are taken up by Mathare. Fade moves crisply into second place while a complete unknown is in fourth.

[GlosRFC]

Congratulations to Ruby who not only won yesterdays quiz but was the first person to get 10 out of 10.

In the overall standings Mathare still has his nose in front but Fadetoblack is putting in a sustained burst up the inside. Presto and Sparky look as though the distance was too much for them as, ominously, a couple of stayers, Chancer and Littlegaz, are beginning to settle in just behind the leaders waiting for their turn to pounce.

[Fadetoblack]

That Fadetoblack stable is a shrewd one....

[TheOldhamWhisper]

WOW FTB - you written a 'bot to do these? :laugh All correct in 60 seconds??? Impressive!

[Fadetoblack]

:laugh It's hit and miss really. Love a good quiz though, I have a head full of absolutely meaningless information.

[mathare]

Uh-oh. I am in trouble today then. A few beers at lunchtime and I am just about to attempt the quiz when I see FTB has 10/10 in 60 seconds.

[Fadetoblack]

You bet my time anyway...

[GlosRFC]

In a different quiz, I got 10/10 in 49 seconds yesterday...but was still pipped for first place by someone who managed it in 43 seconds :yikes:

[GlosRFC]

Congratulations to Fadetoblack and Laf who have each won the Daily Quiz in the past two days. Extra rep on its way to them :)

Cumulatively it's wide-open with Mathare still leading the way but things are likely change as this is the last day to show off your knowledge of music before the questions switch to more general trivia.

[GlosRFC]

Apologies are in order to Piggy who actually got 10 out of 10 a couple of weeks ago. :D

[Yoda]

Woo-Hoo.

I did guess 2 if i'm Honest.

Jonah

[Yoda]

OMG!!
Thursdays are VERY easy!

Get on quick

Jonah

[markwales]

There should be a stack of 10's today.....the one I got wrong was correct until I changed my mind at the very last second!!! ;fire

[bigcumba]

Yep, just got a 10 s well, but took twice as long as you Yoda!!

[lowe1]

There should be a stack of 10's today.....the one I got wrong was correct until I changed my mind at the very last second!!! ;fire


i now know i drank to much beer last night after only getting 6 :yikes:

[sparkyminer]

Same time as Yoda. same score, but it puts me behind him, how's that work then? :wiggle:

[GlosRFC]

Perhaps there's micro-seconds in it which aren't displayed?

Some impressive scores there nevertheless.

[mathare]

Oh yeah! :D

[Fadetoblack]

My mouse went mad at one point losing me valuable time....

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Really need to brush up on my Land Expeditions!

Does your mouse have an auto pilot mat? I can't even READ them at that speed, let alone answer them! :laugh

[vegyjones]

9 question right
in less than 100 seconds...

AND I'M STILL NEAR THE BOTTOM!!! ;fire

I'm off to join a thicker forum :laugh

[Fadetoblack]

Yeah I get a bit flustered and try and fly to them and end up getting dizzy and falling over, that costs me valuable seconds...

[GlosRFC]

At least no-one's whinging about the difficulty of the questions today :D

[mathare]

Does your mouse have an auto pilot mat? I can't even READ them at that speed, let alone answer them! :laugh:laugh

And this is at work without the benefit of a wheel to scroll the page :)

[bigcumba]

and end up getting dizzy and falling over,

From an Irishman that can only mean one thing! :hic :D

[Fadetoblack]

Bit of advice....don't take the quiz after :pn and :winer and :drnk and a little :hic followed by :ass1 and :flush.

Its hard to get the mouse pointer to find the answer circle when there are eight of them.

[mathare]

Dilemma: I am away this weekend so do I wake up extra early to get a go in on the quiz and incur the wrath of my missus for being on the PC when I should be getting ready or do I miss a day and let FTB, Sparky et al back in?

[bigcumba]

Can't answer that Mat as I'm a bit biased :D

[mathare]

Can't answer that Mat as I'm a bit biased :D:laugh

We're going away to a wedding so I suppose I could log on quickly "to check the trains are running OK"...

[sparkyminer]

Bearing in mind I missed the first two days. Ooo :)

[mathare]

I missed the first day too :wink

[vegyjones]

Should I be embarrassed that I haven't missed any! :doh

[GlosRFC]

Talking of days - we're now entering the final week and Mathare still has his nose in front. Sparky, Fadetoblack and BigC are galloping alongside but, even during the run-in, the other runners can have a huge influence over the final result.

[bigcumba]

The top 4 better start looking over their shoulders..... :D 10 out of 10 last night after a dozen pints at the concert, and another 10 out of 10 today with the hangover in place.... :)

[Fadetoblack]

I missed one and some at the start....but I'm also not as intelligent as I led myself to believe.....

[GlosRFC]

Complete disaster for me today ::swear

[Fadetoblack]

Oh I've lost the plot completely.....It's safe to say I know very little about the United Kingdom....

[mathare]

The question on the Grimsby Town mascot helped a little today :D

[vegyjones]

Is he

a ) a :censored: t
b ) a :censored: r
c ) a :censored: d
d ) a :censored: k

:laugh

[GlosRFC]

While we're on the subject....just a reminder that this month's quiz closes in 2 days! So it's your last chance to try for that elusive tenner or, at least, influence the result while you jockey for position in the final furlong!!

[mathare]

Have I just been robbed?

A jam and almond pastry named after an English town. I click Bakewell tart only to get it marked as wrong and told Bakewell pudding is the right answer. Nah!

I tried to report a correction but it wouldn't let me log in. Oh well.

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Sorry mat - that's one of the most common triv 'trick' questions. The Bakewell is actually a 'pudding' and not a tart (I think it was Mr Kipling who coined the Bakewell tart misnomer).

[mathare]

Fair enough - I stand corrected then. Thanks for that :)

[GlosRFC]

Less than 5 hours to go before the first ever Win2Win Monthly Quiz winner is announced :)
