Chris' Pub quiz
 

Im sure the old timers on the board remember my Star Trek of many months ago :P, since i recommended people start setting up new topics, i have decided to revamp and relanuch my quiz topics, although now things will be different. And i hope you like it.

Now it will not just be Star trek, it will be a pub quiz type idea, just without the pub, although im sure Danny has something up his sleeve. But this will mean that there will be loads of questions about almost anything.

people will only be allowed one response, however, they are aloowed to edit the response between the time they post and the time I call the right answer, in case they change their minds. but they must tell me the time they edited in case someone beats them.

You are allowed to use any and all sources to find the right answer.

Each time you win, you get a rep boost, the amount of points depends on how many question you answer right. if thats possible to increase rep.

So, i hope you all like it, and if people are happy with it, post here and i will start soon. :)

Sounds like a great idea! I look forward to it.

that's a good idea, I'll look forward to it.

i will begin then :P

1) what is spanish for please?

Por favor!

Bingo! Danny gets it! 1 point

2) In WW2, what were the German tank divisions call?

( Ross, if you don;t get this one first i will shoot you. :P )

Panzer Divisions!

Also, where is the little rep bar? I havent spotted it based on the description yet.

I was wondering that myself

Ross! you are correct :)

3) how many different letters for the Hawaiian alphabet?

Twelve. :D

OK, how he knew that i don't know :P but he is right :)

4)Which writer penned a Sci-Fi book beginning with every letter of the alphabet?

Just a wild guess, I haven't got a clue but............H.G. Wells

I know, proberbly wrong, but it's just a guess.

No idea but good guess Ben. About the reputation bar, I can see it under the member's name. For example, mine says:

Ben Dawson (Offline)
Member

And then below that, a tiny green block indicating his reputation so far. He'll get more green blocks as his reputation goes higher.

Ah ya, I see it.

Err, yours says Danny stewart. :P

I think he was just using mine as an example.

Shall i assume you all want to pass on that question.

Yeah, I'll pass.

Gee, thanks, Ross. :P

Yes, thank you, Ben. :P

Wait, what? Which question? :P

When's the next question coming up?

cos I'm really looking forward to it

Ben, one of the rules we have around here is that double posting should be avoided -- that is, posting again after you're already the last person to post in a thread.

Moderators, please take note -- if you see double posts like this, please do me a favor and use the "Merge posts" feature in the "Moderation" menu (underneath all the posts in a thread but above the quick reply box) to correct double posts and put them into one. For edit reason, but "Merged double post" or something to indicate that that's what you've done. Thank you!

No problem Danny, 5th question to come this evening :)

I think we are all looking forward to it, this is like the best Pub Quiz ever.

Ya, agreed.

Thank you, sorry i have not done question 5 yet, i was out all day, i will have it up by about 1:00pm British time.

Ok, lets resume! :D

answer to number 4 was Andre Norton, the next one will be easy

5) what Colour flag signifys the end of a motor race?

Black and white, with the pattern being a checkered pattern

6) In 1966, which TV play about a homeless yong mother made a great impact?

Damn... other people are beating me to the ones I know, and then I'm here in time for the ones I'm not sure about. :P

A clue then, the original series of Doctor Who was popular by then :P

I knew that, but I don't see how it relates to your question. :P

It doesn't :P If people don;t figure it out by tomorrow i will move on :)

Correct! :D

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee:D
