Yay - honours for all! :partying_face:

@Ian_Chimp you get a :banana: for Quiz Mastery Wizardry!

Congratulations @WillC and @MrsLovett77 :clap::clap::clap:

And welcome aboard @Knottydevil :tada:

I had a few definite lucky guesses but the two I thought would definitely be familiar to me once revealed aren’t at all (Baron Hardup and The Reichstag) so I dont feel bad. Actual knowledge puts me 5 points lower. Finally, although I’m hoping the Snails have moved out (…or been eaten?) previously I’m still feeling bad for their homes.

The Great Hump Day Quiz! 🐪

Welcome to the Great Hump Day Quiz!

We’re always trying to add more people to our quiz gang, so check out how to hide your answers, pop them in a post, and I’ll add you to the Scoreboard. :+1::slightly_smiling_face:

:exclamation:We also have an answer template you can copy and paste now too. :+1:

Where do the questions come from?

I found a mysterious old box of trivial pursuit, with even more trivial pursuits stuffed inside. It is a treasure trove of quiz questions, and all of them really old. :slightly_smiling_face: Perfect fodder for a Hump Day special. :+1:

Piecing together a few bits and bobs, there were three sets, and a couple of the instructions. One is a Genus Edition, dated 2001, and the other the 20th Anniversary one, 2004. There’s also another old style board and questions in there that looks/smells quite a bit older. That’s the box they’re all stuffed in, and that has ©1983 printed on it. No instructions, so not sure if that’s accurate. That one says it’s a Master Game Genus Edition.

(Edit: Now with an added sprinkling of more recent questions too :+1::slightly_smiling_face:)

So, there you go. It’s a bit random, but it should add to the fun. :slightly_smiling_face:

  3. Arlene Phillips?
  4. “So call me, maybe?”
  5. Ooh… Something with Sun in it… Sunhill maybe?
💛 History
  1. The Mary Rose - Tudors (The only bit of History we did over and over and over! :rofl:)

💩 Art and Literature
  1. The Grinch
  2. :thinking: Such a famous painting, how do I not immediately know this. I don’t think the has jewellery but she must have eye brows surely. Not having eye brows would be note worthy and well known wouldn’t it???

  3. From a feel… 4 floating pairs and um, 7ish top ones so 11. :thinking: Pretty sure it should be an even number. Oh well.
  4. Not the foggiest
  5. Um… White? Same as all other milk :woman_shrugging:t2:
🧡 Sprot and Leisure
  1. :rofl: Monopoly?
  2. Okay… Stamford Bridge came up in the last quiz… who plays there!!! It’s a London one. Chelsea??
  3. Olly
  4. Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink, Black
  5. A journalist?

Hope the kids helped with the quizzing (and Wordle!)
