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

I think this was a rather tough one this week, but I can proudly announce the winner of this week’s Great Hump Day Quiz is… :drum::drum::drum:

@Peitho :trophy::balloon:

Congratulations!

Now… I know what you’re going to say about :orange_heart:5… :slightly_smiling_face: But bear in mind you’ve already won (:trophy::partying_face:), and that I’d have to take a point off all of us who said ‘clay’ (which is the answer on the card). I think if anyone knew the answer should have been ‘dolomitic limestone and pitch’ no one would have asked the question in the first place. :slightly_smiling_face: So, as you’ve trounced us quite soundly this week, can we at least keep a pity point for ‘clay’? :slightly_smiling_face:

Edit: Almost forgot this week’s Clean-Sweepers: :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you - Some questions suited me, others were flukey guesses! The total in my head was definitely less than 20 though. Looked up nihilist after guessing “nothing” because it sounded like nil… Still have no idea what that actually is, yet somehow got the point :woman_shrugging:t2:.

:rofl: I like quizzes and always throw in guesses if I can think of anything vaguely in the right area :woman_shrugging:t2:. I think when we have film cheeky weekenders though I fully show my weak subject!!!

Usually get beaten here too though, I think @WillC holds the most wins by a mile! :joy::+1:

I like quizzes and throw in educated guesses too. Sometimes i think i may have an advantage by being older and having a wider pop culture knowledge, especially music, films, tv, comics etc. But in the end, you either know them or you don’t! I consider it a good result if i get ONE Sprot and Leisure question right! :slight_smile:
