Just glanced at the answers and I feel so silly! When I saw Venus de Milo I thought of The Birth of Venus :sweat_smile:

Great quiz, as usual, Mr. Chimp!

Very impressive attempts so far!

I did not explain number 8 well though, a) and b) are different films… the original and a sequel.

@Ian_Chimp - I love your answer to 10! Had I stayed there the Premier Inn would have recieved a scathing review and a very poor score on Trip Advisor! :rofl:

Oh, so we have to go back and put a sequel in? I assumed they were different taglines for the same film!

The Great Hump Day Quiz! :tada::dromedary_camel:
(02/12/20)

Welcome to this Wednesday’s Great Hump Day Quiz! All newcomers are most welcome :slightly_smiling_face: Check out the rules, pop your answers in a post, and I’ll add you to the Scoreboard. :+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.

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