|
|
VictorLaslo asked for a quiz. So here is the first attempt, to see if there is an interest.
If there is sufficient interest then we can do more quizzes, and anyone can submit questions or however they want to do the their quiz.
Quiz No 1. I've chosen the 1970s as the subject, so apologies to the very young members. No prizes but you get to see your score
Go to
http://www.r2ok.co.uk/quiz1.htm
I hope all the correct answers ARE correct, I expect there might be some debate
The quiz is created on a common html form style so it should work for everyone

Excellent, especially as I did better than I expected (but as well as I should, considering it is my generation). Made me think and exercise the memory bank. _________________ Ron |

40% for me, too, TTS - also waiting patiently for an 80s quiz! _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Hah! 65% for me without cheating, not great but ok-ish.
Mind you I altered my answer to the Blondie question to my first thought and got 70%
Excellent idea, thanks! |

Hey, I'm no expert, I reckon had I seen this quiz last week I would have only scored 50%
I'll put the correct answers on an answers thread later.
The 80's quiz is on it's way, maybe today if you are all so desperate I have the questions and answers, the tricky bit is assembling the quiz page so that the right answers get the score

40% seems to ba a popular figure, cos that's what I got as well. _________________ Geddon

I will probably fail miserably on the 80's one too if the questions are as difficult as these.
I didn't know any of the answers, the ones I got right were pure guesses. |

I'll probably do quite badly on the '80s. I went off pop in that decade. |
