[tiger76]

As promised I'll start posting these from today, some of these are easy, however some most certainly aren't, I got 12/20, but I couldn't get the tougher ones, so if anyone comes close to a clean sweep I'll be surprised.

Yes apologies you are on a timer, but at least unlike some other quizzes you don't have to keep scrolling up and down the page and wasting valuable time, so that should help you next time.

[spadesclaret]

Annoyed that they wouldn't give me toro. I spelt it with double r

Good quiz, but what's the account bit about?

unfortunately my one finger typing makes it very difficult to finish in time

[tiger76]

17 is the total to beat so far. As I thought nobody has yet managed the full house. But some decent scoring on those tough questions, the language ones totally flummoxed me unfortunately.

[aclaretinstevenage]

17 also

[timshorts]

What do birds of a feather do? I thought they stuck together. Maybe it was talk in a thick lundun accent or inexplicably keep getting their **** TV show repeated.

You only need to do that if you want to earn points, but I didn't bother as it's too much faff, and stuff like that doesn't interest me. I just enjoy playing and posting the quizzes.

Agree, stick together.

[Rowls]

Birds aren’t sticky

18. Should have been 19, but although my Uncle Wilson died in 1948 and he never won the Nobel Peace Prize - a shocking omission - I did not get credit for the point.

[tarkys_ears]

17

Didnt get Flock, lead and another I forget what the question was

[NRC]

I got 19, but for some reason I couldn’t get it to accept “flock.” City closest to NYC took me 5 attempts

[Covclaret]

19. Didn’t get the Nobel prize one.

[spadesclaret]

How on earth did you clever people know Mexico City? I went went through every US city I could think of and still didn't think of going outside the US.

[Buxtonclaret]

Didn't get Mexico City either, Spades.
Got 14

[NRC]

Well that’s because,you created parameters that didn’t exist, Spades.
My first guess was To go to a boroughs to see if it was a trick question. Then Detroit, then Miami, then London….. then logically Mexico City (as it’s closer then London, but I didn’t know that)

[maccclaret]

18 for me; I missed the city and honolulu.

Treacle Market is on today BTW for anyone who needs to buy some silk.

[duncandisorderly]

18 - I'd never have gotten Mexico City and I was certain Hawaii was right so really I reckon I got all 20.

[Guitargeorge]

15, spent too much time guessing at US cities!

[Bosscat]

Birds aren’t sticky

I've known a few who were a bit "sticky"

Oh1 is that the answer, I'd never have got that in a million years, You learn something new everyday on here.

I did say they were tough, but I never thought of thinking outside the box.

I'll put a couple more on laters.
