The 2nd BIG Quiz
On Monday 25 September somewhere around 40 to 50 questions will be posted here.
Each team has five days to answer as many questions as they can.
PM your answers to Jutta anytime on Friday 29 September and before midnight on that day.
Jutta will post your answers in the boxes below when we have them all in. We can only accept your first answers.
Jutta, Psychojo and NikkiB have 'done' this quiz and are adjudicators for this quiz and will therefore not be taking part.
Entry is free. The winning team will be the team with the most correct answers. In the VERY unlikely event of a draw a deciding question will be asked. The prize box will go to the rescue chosen by the winning team.
The judges' (Jutta, PsychoJo, NikkiB) decision is final.
As this is the first time I'll adjudicate such a quiz, please be patient with my 'scoring' - I want to do it correctly and therefore may take a while!
Good luck, you WILL need it
(Could somebody do a TRPD-email to 'warn' everybody that this quiz is starting tomorrow, 25 September, please? Thank you )
