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:
