Blogger's Block
I think tonight is the worst we've ever done in an OWS quiz - 6 million and 11. However, while we came (I think) 7th out of 10, we were only bad by comparison with our previous performances, and not with everyone else there this evening. Third place score was 9 million and 15, and the winners got 15 million and something. We were a somewhat reduced team, comprising just 3 members, and for a while in the first round, we did think we might only be able to answer the questions with numerical answers. Tennis knowledge to the rescue - it often amuses me that some people find the question "When did Boris Becker first win Wimbledon?" (Answer : 1985) hard...
The quiz also included such delightful questions as :
Peter Mayhew, who played Chewbacca, used to live on the same street in Yorkshire as which other sci-fi actor? Answer : Patrick Stewart
How many cups of iced tea are drunk each year in America - 106, 116, 126 or 136 million? Answer : 136 million
What's the most popular colour of toothbrush in the UK? Answer : Blue
What word beginning with M became very popular following the release of the Phantom Menace? Answer : Mindful
Which band is named after Lucas Radebe's (apologies for spelling, I don't do football) old football team? Answer : Kaiser Chiefs
What colour is Bugs Bunny's voice? Answer : White (Mel Blanc)
Which Elvis song title, translated into Latin, is "Aut nunc aut numquam est"? Answer : It's Now Or Never
