FG Trivia

beowulf · Post by **beowulf** » Sun May 02, 2010 7:10 am

is that cos you are obviously quite clever as you regulary score 9 or more and often come top?

even when i manage to score a, for me, remarkable 8 i dont even come 2nd let alone top..........gets a little boring when day after day there are subjects i have no chance of knowing the answers to

I like the quiz, I learn alot about other places.

I just love to learn! If I can glean one new fact from each day's quiz, I figure I'm ahead. But it is frustrating to have questions which are impossible to know anything about unless you've either studied it or lived it.

There used to be another quiz there, was it a different level? I never could log onto it, maybe spot or Carla will remember.

I take issue with one of the sets of answers & its validity. I'm going to report it. Then I think I'd better read up on Islam.

good greif.....9/10.......and i guessed on 4! :wah::wah::wah::wah:

however, as the theme for today is history.......could someone tell me how the following questions be 'history'? :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

You come home afer a long and boisterous party, looking the worse for wear. As you stagger off to bed, your dear mate says "Look what..."?..(the cats dragged in)

I just had a blue with bluey, fair dinkum, I thought he was true blue, but he's madder than a cut snake!' What have you just overheard? (Someone has had a fight with a friend)

I've just been robbed by a one armed bandit!' What's this Aussie talking about?(He just lost on the poker machines)

Green leafy vegetation, that can be grown indoors or out, and has a rather rainforesty look? (fern)

I don't know how you can say the words. You're a child of Marshall McLuhan, Jefferson Airplane, Timothy Leary and The Summer of Love. We're making it happen, man, we're not tag-wrestling.

I have a... there might be a name for it but I'm failing to remember it... it's small and red and nestles between the G and H on the keyboard and it reacts to being pushed back and forth with a fingertip. It's certainly not a mouse.

I have nothing, nada, zilch between my G & H. Maybe I had one, but if it had little red eyes I may have killed it. :wah:

3/10

rediculous questions today!!!!

The buildings of Jaipur city were painted this colour in 1876 for the visit of the Prince of Wales.

Most foreign visitors to Korea love "bulgogi." Where do they encounter bulgogi?

plus ones about criminal offences in phillopines, romanian national anthems and assaination attempts on US presidents :rolleyes:

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Sat May 08, 2010 7:46 am

:wah: OK I will google all this and see if I can get 1 right.

Post by **spot** » Sat May 08, 2010 7:59 am

I bet Jaipur was painted bright yellow. That's the color it was when I visited anyway, it may well be from the 19th century.

Who was the last Guru, who gave us the Guru Granth Sahib?.....who?

The prophet Haggai comes on the scene in the second year of King Darius to encourage people to finish an uncompleted project. What was it he wanted the people to do?....who??

Who was not in Carthage jail when Joseph Smith was killed?.....who??????

Haggai, I fear, figures prominently in the politics of the modern Middle East. It was he who conveyed God's demand that the Jews rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. It wasn't a Good Idea.

I think we should have 2 sets of questions each day. The regular one and one for those with less than super Mensa abilities. My ego would be less shattered that way.
