Seeing as there's been a few Quiz questions on lately I thought i'd create a little One...







1. Which word in the English Language is always spelt and pronounced incorrectly?

2. You are in a race and you overtake the 3rd placed runner what position are you in?

3. In the same race you overtake the last person, what position does that put you in?

4. If 5 horses can eat five bags of oats in five minutes, how long will it take 100 horses to eat 100 bags of oats?

5. Rearrange this ‘old west action’ anagram to find a cowboy actor

6. Another anagram, this time on a maths theme……. Crate 2 simple sums where the total equals 13 (e.g. One plus two—I know that don’t equal 13 but it would give the answer if I wrote the correct sum!)

7. What colour is a Polar Bears skin?

8. There’s One place in England the Queen is NOT allowed access to…where is that?

9. Which year did WW1 finish in Europe?

[ady]

Blimey that was quick!

1. Incorrectly RIGHT

2. Third place RIGHT

3. Still third - you just lapped him WRONG..LETS SAY ITS A STRAIGHT LINE (THOUGH YOUR ANSWER WAS GOOD!)

4. 5 minutes RIGHT

5. Clint Eastwood RIGHT

6. Me no understand WRONG (I TRIED EXPLAING IT AS BEST I COULD)

7. Pink WRONG

8. House of Commons RIGHT

9. This must be a con as clearly it is 1918 WRONG

Cheers Ady, enjoyed this.

Revised answer to question 7 = Black (to soak up heat)

Revised answer to question 9 = 1919 (signing of Treaty of Versailles) Should have got this 'cos my great grandfather witnessed the signing in the Palace of Versailles. He was Churchill's valet, or something.

1. Incorrectly RIGHT

2. Third place RIGHT

3. Still third - you just lapped him RIGHT..LETS SAY ITS A STRAIGHT LINE (I DIDN'T ADD THAT) (SO YOUR ANSWER WAS GOOD!), BUT IN A STRAIGHT LINE YOU CAN'T PASS THE LAST.

4. 5 minutes RIGHT

5. Clint Eastwood RIGHT

6. Me no understand WRONG 2 Sums 'x plus x' and 'x plus x' are anagrams of each other and both totals equals 13

7. Black RIGHT

8. House of Commons RIGHT

9. 1919 (signing of Treaty of Versailles) WRONG

I used to go Skiing in this country and I remember being told numerious times about a technicality with some signing...you are on the right lines...Its a SINGLE country, therefore Europe was not at peace.

For Q3 you can read it 2 ways:

1. Technically in a straight one lap race it isn't possible to overtake the person in last place.
2. If however you read it as you overtake the last person it is possible to overtake then that puts you in first place.

Answer to Q6 is:

ONE PLUS TWELVE

TWO PLUS ELEVEN

Correct on Both Duplu.....

I hope you guys can see why I could'nt give a different way to describe the way to get to the Answer....

All thats left is Question 9....

A little clue to finalise it....A country between Spain and France, know that and google WW1.


Thanks to all that took part

Came as surprise to me that 1918 was not the answer. However, after a little research (Wikipedia) I discovered it to be 23 August 1923 "The Treaty of Lausanne" apparently.

This question arose from me going to Andorra a few times and me having heard it mentioned...have to be honest I was amazed at how late in the 20th Century it actually took to realise lol....

So as you can see....Europe wasn't officially at peace.
