lil_angel Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 If you are around this evening can send you the quiz. Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 No because I dont want people spending time getting the answers from things like google as that would make it pointless. I was people thinking for themselves as thats why its going to be like on the show. Ive made it multiple choice and a range of easy and hard questions. Im being flexible by allowing people to let me know when they are about so I can send them the questions for them to work on and then return the answers to me. Apologies for being late. Traffic's been a nightmare!! Must admit that it only suddenly entered my head at 3 or 4am, as I watched a recording of the dancing (Have to watch X Factor & couldn't sleep later) that people might be able to look up answers under my suggestion - though I then quickly decided that you'd have to be daft to cheat your way onto a quiz team & risk total humiliation when unable to do so on the show later - but it takes all sorts I guess Hope all goes well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne Grose Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I am sure I could persuade my neighbour to join us - he is a retired maths and physics professor who is an absolute whizz in the local quiz league. Who was strongest at which subjects and then we could try and get a venue suitable for all of us to try out at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico's mum Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Wow Amy,great quiz - didn't do it because much as I love the idea I wouldn't appear on TV BUT I can see a great fundraiser here - think they've been done in the past on here? We pay an entry fee and do just what you've done already ie reply by pm/email in quickest time,I'd be up for that - maybe even a prize could be donated for the winner?
