Quiz 434

Another low turnout at The Albert last night, I hope this isn't the start of a trend. No point in worrying about it at the moment, but if it continues I'll have to think about investigating other avenues. Only five teams again last night of those CJD completed a hat trick of wins coming top for the third week in a row with an excellent score of 97pts. The Alliance were five points back in second place with an equally impressive 92pts and third place went to Day Release just one point behind on 91. I did make a small start on next week's quiz when i had a spare half hour before leaving for the quiz last night and I'm hoping to have a good session on it later today but, I have to go out shortly to see if i can get some cheap printer ink as the money I paid out for photocopying yesterday was 25% of what I got last night. Questions? Comments? quizard_97@yahoo.co.uk is my email address. Thank you Margaret for your suggestions and I'm glad you enjoyed the "If women ruled the World" pics in my last post.

Leprechaun's Pot 'O' Gold

End of the month yesterday which mean't that the whole pot was up for grabs. Unfortunately, as we've had a couple of slow weeks the final total was less than in previous months, although £66 is not to be sniffed at. Last night's question was: In years and days, how long did it take to complete the US monument Mount Rushmore? The answer is 14 years and 27 days. Between October 4 1927, and October 31 1941. Georgina of The Blackadders was only 77 days out with a guess of 13 years and 315 days. £66 is now hers which apparently she intends to share with Hannah also of the The Blackadders and whose guss of 15 years and 210 days was second closest and put the money towards buying mobile phones. So a happy end to the evening. Next week we start again from scratch and for those who haven't figured it out yet, it's a five week month so if there is a good turnout and no one wins it in the meantime, the pot should reach a good sum by the time of the last quiz on May 29th.

Joke Of The Day:Animal Thoughts...

After watching that imbecile on television who claims to know what common household pets are thinking, it was decided that we too, would do the impossible...
