cow Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Hi, Cow here and since it's Thursday the best day of the week I thought we'd have a little quiz to celebrate. Rules: There will be a total of 20 questions. Eighteen will require the correct answer (10 points per correct answer) with a total of 180 points available. The last two will be a closest to the pin (where wonky answers will lose points) The quiz will run until 12 midnight. The highest score wins. Anyone that's clearly using google to answer will lose all their points and (if a current friend of mine) will be un-friended. You have been warned. Please don't cheat as it ruins the thread. Copy the question and just give me 20 question answers please. Sadly there will be no cash prize after the disgraceful antics of some posters and moderator after cash cow. Question 1. Aberdeen is the third largest city in the Scotland. Name the third largest city of Great Britain? Question 2. In which year did the 'starbursts' brand replace 'opal fruits'? Question 3. Golden boot winners at the last 3 world cups please ( '02, '06, '10) all three names are required for 10 points. Question 4. What was the name of the sequel to cult film classic 'Jaws'? Question 5. Name me three cities in Egypt, again all three are needed for 10 points. Question 6. To the nearest hundred, how many yards long will open championship course Muirfield play? Question 7. What's the 2nd highest mountain in Scotland? Question 8. Who am I...... " I'm a huge fan of Scotland, having worked here in my youth. I'm named after my father, who was also involved in this line of work. I've had many highs in recent years, although winning a nobel award is hard to beat" Question 9. What was the title of the Rolling Stones first album? Question 10. How many centimetres in a Kilometre? Question 11. What colours makes up the flag of Ukraine? Question 12. Who is older. George Michael or Madonna? Question 13. Complete the well known phrase. 'The bigger they are ______ _______ _____ _______ ' Question 14. Name the two largest countries on the Iberian peninsula?
