Quiz

[Bee Gees Fan]

Only just managed to get on! Sorry about not being here at the time you asked, Frasier.

Anyway, I've been thinking - it's going to be impossible for everyone to be here at one particular time, so why don't we let each quiz run for several days, instead of having it for one night? Then everyone else would be able to come along and take part, if they want to.

Okay - so:

General Knowledge

(I think most of these are pretty easy - post answers in the thread, by the way)

1: What is the name of the first female Prime Minister?


2: In what year was Adolph Hitler born?


3: Which country won the last World Cup (for football?)


4: What was the name of the person who discovered America and which year did he discover it in? (Two points for this question.)


5: What are the names of the Beatles? (surnames as well)


6: What is the name of the person who has just won The X Factor?


7: Another X Factor-related question - what are the names of the three judges on the X-Factor? (surnames as well)


8: What are the names of the three cartoon Chipmunks and what is the name of the man who looks after them? (two points for this one)


9: In how many days is God said to have created the world?


10: Name two of my favourite groups.

I'll post the answers on Thursday - and I was thinking we could start the next one then.

You can answer all of them, if you like.

I trust no one to cheat and sneak a peek at anyone else's answers.

Oh I see. So each question can be answered many times?

You're very trusting, I give you that

1. Margaret Thatcher

6. Some woman.
7. Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.

[Bee Gees Fan]

Okay, here are the answers:


Question 1: Margaret Thatcher

Cakey, I understand your concerns about cheating, but if no one minds, could people post their answers in the thread? I don't want to seem like I'm suspicious of all of you.

I'll start the Sports one in a few days.
