A couple of quick quizzes

Post by tiger76 » Sun Aug 02, 2020 1:56 pm

Quiz: How well do you know the birds of the world?https://www.wanderlust.co.uk/content/bi ... 741f9df7e

I only notched 2/15, some stinkers in this one.

Quiz: How well do you know England’s counties?https://www.wanderlust.co.uk/content/en ... 741f9df7e

7/16 on this one, but there's some tricky questions to navigate.

14 on the second one, although I got lucky on about 4 of them - like we're supposed to know flags of counties. I mean, really.

Didn't bother with the first one - never had much luck with birds.

16/16 (I knew the flags) so quit whilst i was ahead and ignored the birds; I know I'd be crap at those.
Edit: The Mrs said 'it was only fair' for me to do the birds too.... got 6 :(
