I don't think, I know, you all must have had much easier questions than me yesterday.
It will be fairer.
It was as fair as possible before, as the questions were from the same level, in the same subject. It's was just unfortunate if the set you got had a lot of questions about U.S. baseball team averages, or some other obscure topic.

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
Besides it's only a bit of fun.
The questions aren't exactly high-brow.
No Shakespeare, no Greek/Roman poets, no Renaissance art, no opera, no philosophers.
I'm always at a disadvantage.

The one I got wrong today went something like: Who do some people think was responsible for writing Shakespeares plays? what would you have put for that? I put Francis Bacon and got it wrong!

Depends on what the options were, but probably Christopher Marlowe.

That was the answer but I was sure I'd heard Bacon's name connected with it.

Someone might have asked for a P on Blockbusters, and you heard it there.

Don't think that's a very fair question as loads of names have been put forward with no proof for any of them. Bloody Americans and their conspiracy theories!

Re: Accywebbers Daily Trivia quiz Comp!!!
Thanks ladies, I'm still looking for my first win and there's only a couple more to play today! I did have an embarrassingly easy question though: Complete this famous foursome - John, Paul, George and ? :- Bingo, Lingo, Ringo or Dingo!!

Nowt to do wi me,but don't be too sure of that, i used to do a music quiz in a boozer i was doing early 90s i think it was, there was a guy i knew very well, was very clued up on music, went the loo one night,when i'd just asked a question n passed him on the way, he had just downloaded the answer on his mobile, n that was just a bit of fun, fer T-Shirts n the like,which the landlord had given me. so never be sure,it certainly learnt me.
