There are going to be a wide variety of answers for #7 |

09 Mar 02 - 10:39 AM (#665715) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Jon Freeman Don't worry Paul, it was entirely my fault... If I had have read fully before diving in... Once again, sorry to all - I had not intentions of spoiling the fun. Jon |

09 Mar 02 - 10:48 AM (#665718) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Jeri Jon, I could do something about that post, y'know...turn your text white or something. And he did not get them ALL right! |

09 Mar 02 - 10:51 AM (#665720) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Nigel Parsons A little disappointing Jon, but a good job you didn't get them all right then, isn't it. |

09 Mar 02 - 10:58 AM (#665722) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Jon Freeman To be honest Nigel, I have apologised twice and still seem to be getting stick. I am beginning to wish I had spent 10-15 minutes looking up the answers I did not know and giving a bit of thought rather than happily just sitting down with Pip and saying "this is a fun quiz" lets see what we can do... Jon |

09 Mar 02 - 08:38 PM (#666011) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Paul from Hull Good solution Geri! ....& you did way better than I did with attempting to answer them Jon! ...I did MARGINALLY better with the Song Quiz...*G* Good stuff Nigel, btw....I'm enjoying what youre doing. |

09 Mar 02 - 09:48 PM (#666029) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Jeri Well, I managed to get about 7. I got an answer for 15, but I have no idea if there's only one correct answer. I'm sure #10 is going to turn out to be a very bad pun, but I don't have any ideas. The UK-centered (or should that be centred?) ones give me trouble, but I'm sure the US ones give folks in the UK problems. We have a different collective consciousness. Nigel, I enjoy these quizzes very much, even if I'm not that good at them. |

10 Mar 02 - 05:02 AM (#666142) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Hilary Come on Nigel, Which ones are being answered, (& which of those were right !) I'm nearly getting tempted to ring my (4 year old) neice as I'm sure she could tell me about Beauty & the Beast. Hilary |

10 Mar 02 - 10:31 AM (#666250) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Nigel Parsons Hilary, problems so far seem to include: 2, I was asked by one person for a year, =1965 5, You either know it or not, but I've had one correct guess, based on the cast,assuming the instrumentalist was American!! (I believe the actor may actually be Canadian) 10, Yes it is a bad pun. A meaning of "Semi" is easy, but apparently the English language has more expressions & euphamisms for "Intoxicated" than for any other term. 13 & 14, Some confusion, but one is actually used as an instrument. 19, Remember, this is based on a French fairy story entitled ??? 20, another atrocious pun. I'm not PMing this to you, as the problems seem widespread so this may help others. |

10 Mar 02 - 08:24 PM (#666604) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Nigel Parsons As with the Song Quiz (see "blue Clickie" in original post.) I have no objections to this quiz being used in whole (or in part) elsewhere. Please attribute it. If it accompnies a 'whip round' for charity, then so much the better. I intend posting one more (Wednesday or Thurday B.S.T.) for St Patrick's day. I will happily PM answers to requests if it can be used elsewhere . |

17 Mar 02 - 06:33 PM (#670969) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: GUEST,CraigS The answer to every question appears to be BODHRAN, which is sometimes spelled TROMBONE, or BANJO. |

18 Mar 02 - 04:50 AM (#671146) Subject: RE: Quiz 2 Instru--mental) From: Nigel Parsons I don't care how you spell Bodhran, it's the pronunciation that's the killer. See recent thread! |
