And I’ll make this one ‘live’ here in the Quiz Topic:

Squiffy Picture Round!
Lingerie Style

Ah no! I’ve spilled lube all over my Lovehoney lingerie catalogue! I’ve tried to fix them but I’m worried they’re looking a bit ‘Monkey Jesus’. You can still tell what they are, right…?

Can you identify these lingerie items on the Lovehoney website? (and how quick can you do it… )

Scoreboard	?/10	Time
@LuciousLegs	10/10	~25-29m
@For_Your_Eyes_Only_x	8/10	25m 02s

[For_Your_Eyes_Only_x]

I’ll give it a bash…

My attempt…

1. Lovehoney Plus Size Raven Belle Black Lace Front-Fastening Underwired Bra Set (very easy as have this one…)

2. Lovehoney Fleur Allure Blue Lace Open-Cup Chemise Set (… and have this one too )

3. Dreamgirl Aqua Blue Halterneck Lace Body

4. Lovehoney Treasure Me Purple Plunge Chemise Set

5. Lovehoney Passion Flower Red Lace Babydoll Set

6. Lovehoney Plus Size Boudoir Belle Cherry Push-Up Longline Bra Set

7. ? (Thought this one would be relatively easy?)

8. Lovehoney Plus Size All About That Lace Fishnet Bodystocking

9. Lovehoney Plus Size Seduce Me Push-Up Basque Set

10. ? (Nope. No idea. Tried a few searches but no luck).

25 minutes, 2 seconds.

Thanks @Ian_Chimp, browsing beautiful lingerie on a rainy Monday afternoon was quite lovely! Now to get others involved…

[Ian_Chimp]

I’m quite pleased with that. I thought it may be a little too easy compared to the others, but 25 minutes is a good runtime.

I did try and throw in a couple of trickier ones, so we’ll see if anyone gets number 10 as I may have gone too far…

The Great Hump Day Quiz! 🐪

Welcome to another 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.

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. Perfect fodder for a Hump Day special.

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 )

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh - I’m at the top!!! On this occasion I do not need lots of others forum users joining in @MsSubExperimenter , @VanillaWithSprinkles , @FL45H , @SexInTheCity , @Purring-Pussy

I am also very surprised that 3 was correct though am feeling more stupid about 4.

@Ian_Chimp am I allowed a golden edit, not to change any answers, but to add in the link I meant to and left a place holder for before going on to answer the rest of the questions and then completely forgetting to go back and add the link?

Thanks

Will try and have a look after work today!

[LuciousLegs]

So I think I took ages, forgot to do a proper stop clock and also got side-tracked in the searches for other items but somewhere around 25 - 30 (mainly so I don’t end up in the 30s )

Really enjoyed it and ended up searching parts of the site I don’t generally go to and found a few things for the misses

Surprisingly number 7 was the hardest one for me, although searing for that helped me find number 1 and 10

1 Lovehoney Plus Size Raven Belle Black Lace Front-Fastening Underwired Bra Set
2 Lovehoney Fleur Allure Blue Lace Open-Cup Chemise Set
3 Dreamgirl Aqua Blue Halterneck Lace Body
4 Lovehoney Treasure Me Purple Plunge Chemise Set
5 Lovehoney Passion Flower Red Lace Babydoll Set
6 Lovehoney Plus Size Boudoir Belle Cherry Push-Up Longline Bra Set
7 Exposed Wet Look and Tartan Suspender Dress
8 Lovehoney Plus Size All About That Lace Fishnet Bodystocking
9 Lovehoney Plus Size Seduce Me Push-Up Basque Set
10 Allure Faux Leather Harness Strappy Body

[Ian_Chimp]

That’s some superior searching skills. I think I may need to rustle you up a trophy of some sort…

Finally a chance to do the hump day quiz again!!!

Congratulations!

[WillC]

Congratulations to @MsSubExperimenter! Also @Peitho for the clean sweep!

[Peitho]

Congratulations @MsSubExperimenter (…and commiserations @SexInTheCity for the last minute snatching of victory! )

Thanks @Ian_Chimp… though having now looked up 3, I think @SexInTheCity and myself and the question cards need a point docked and @MsSubExperimenter gets an extra one. Apparently Citrus Grandis is a Pomelo and Citrus Paradisi is a Grapefruit .
(Also, you spelt Jupiter wrong! )

…but Thank you, Thank you! …and I really appreciate it!!!
