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:

My 💛 History Answers
  1. :thinking: Not sure… it is NOT shrunken heads! They are in the Pitt Rivers Museum which is at the back of the Natural History Museum, neither of which are associated with the Ashmolean!!! Hopefully I am underestimating the Trivial Pursuit cards and there is something other that they want but the most common item in Oxford Museums asked about is the shrunken heads and they are not in the Ashmolean. Rant over and probably on completely the wrong line anyway.

Sorry, that was a longer delay than I was planning. Housework is so much fun I just get carried away sometimes. :slightly_smiling_face:

I have added the answers to the quiz post. :slightly_smiling_face:

The card wanted ‘World’s Oldest Museum’ for Yellow1, but I’ve accepted ‘Britain’s First Museum’ for a full point (and ‘oldest library’ as a ½ point as it said ‘oldest’ in it :slightly_smiling_face:).

This one was a very close race for the top spot, but I think @Onlyones has just pipped ahead with the extra ½ point for Yellow1. :+1:

So, I do declare this week’s winner to be…

@Onlyones :trophy::tada:
With a well deserved gold-ish silver medal for @MsSubExperimenter :2nd_place_medal:

Congratulations! :balloon::partying_face:

Hope you enjoyed it, and I’ll be back next week with another. :+1:
