Good evening, good morning, and good afternoon to you all. (That’s all the time zones covered, I think)

As all the answers are in there’s no point waiting until 11pm GMT to post this, plus I’ve been drinking since 3.30pm so I’ll probably fall asleep quite soon now I’m home.

Thanks to you all for taking part, I hope you enjoyed it, and if you’re willing to do it all again I’ll put one together for next month.

The Kitten Pub Quiz 2 Round Five – History

Q1. D. Andrew Jackson

Q2. A. Robert Oppenhiemer

Q3. D. Katherine Parr

Q4. A. Tiananmen Square

Q5. B. Octavian (Augustus)

Q6. A. Potato

Q7. D. Cocaine

Q8. C. The Rhinoceros Party

Q9. A. Thermopylae

Q10. D. Hiroshima

For those of you wondering why Andrew Jackson is odd man out, it is because the other three were assassinated while in office, and AJ survived the attempt on his life. I know I didn’t give much of a hint as to why, but isn’t it fun to use our brains?

[kisstheviolets]

daaaaammmnnnnnn!!! i so wanted a foovatar. watch out jen, i'm coming for you next time!

[jay/wt4evr]

Gee I'm stuck at the 4th place lol.

[Miss Elly]

Wow, I did really bad xD

[Foomatic]

And that's why I'm Foovatar™ Girl, folks! Not big with the right answers apparently. Oh well.

And once again, masterjendu takes the crown! To commemorate this astounding achievement, it is my pleasure to bestow upon you the title of Kitten Pub Quiz Champ, forever immortalized by this Foovatar™. Let all who lay eyes upon it recognize the awesomeness of your vast knowledge of all things trivial. (Heh.)

[dlline]

Way to go, Jen!

I'll be happy with third....but wait until next time (mwa-ha-ha)

[Paint the Sky]

Hi all, Foo, that avatar looks great, and my, my, doesn't Amber look sassy and sexy. Very yum!

I'm thinking of doing a picture round for the next quiz. Ten pics of celeb's for you to identify. No multiple choice on this one though just to make it harder.

Problem is I can't work out how to put pics in my posts, so I thought I would make a folder on my bebo page and post a link to and it would be available for 24 hours before deleting.

Would this be a hassle for you guys?

As usual, all thoughts, comments and suggestions are welcome.

Would anyone like to do an idiots guide to posting pics for me, cos I just can't quite grasp how to do it. I can just about insert a smilie!!

[jay/wt4evr]

Well I think that you should find a hosting site to put there the pics, make them small though so they fit into the post, you select img from the tags and put the url of the pic between the two

Code: Select all

 [img] url of the picture [/img]

ETA : small so they fit as in not too heavy otherwise it will come out as an 'x' and we won't be able to see it...or, you could just put the link and we'll go see it.

Code: Select all

 [url=url of the pic]Name of the pic {like N° 1}[/url]

[Knock yourself out]

Would this be a hassle for you guys?

Considering the hassle you are going through for these quizzes I don't think so

[masterjendu]

Jeepers, if only the awesomeness of my vast knowledge of all things trivial was valuable in finding a girlfriend or uh... a job, maybe?

Thanks for the stiff competition girlies! However many I got right of the past 100 questions were pretty much the extent of my knowledge, so the next Foovatar™ could be anybody's!!!

Thank you so much to Foo! Once again, I am proud to have adorned my profile with Fooey goodness.

And thank you so much Quiz Master PTS! A picture round sounds like good fun!

Can't help on the job front, but if you want to find a girlfriend hang out in TPAM thread, they're all at it over there

I've been practising posting pic's, but it is a bit hit and miss, so I'll put a link in to wherever I put them.

Next quiz penned in to start Sunday 20th July.

[Paint the Sky]

Just bumping the thread as I've changed the title to let those who are interested
know the date for the next quiz.

I've three rounds done, and I'll be dropping history in favour of the picture round.

I wonder if Jen will win again, or can one of you stop her getting a hattrick of Foovaters!!

[jay/wt4evr]

Sounds like fun

[woahnellie]

oh my...i can't wait!!!!

[masterjendu]

Noooo, don't drop history!!!

Actually, I'm here to tell ye that I won't able to partake in the next quiz cuz I'm off to Korea and internet access (and time) will be scarce. So, a hattrick is not in the works for me at all and, more importantly, the foovatar is completely up for grabs!!!


Good luck, girlies!!!!

Jen

[Paint the Sky]

Noooo, don't drop history!!!

I only chose history cos it's the hardest catagory to find a range a questions that are fair to everyone in terms of their location. From my own educational experiences I know very little about the American Civil War, for example, but I'm pretty clued up on English Civil War, the Stuarts and The Tudors etc, so thats my basic logic behind my unilateral descision. Granted, I left school many years ago and maybe History (as a subject) is taught in more global terms now, but it is the catagory I have most trouble with, and spend most time on, when putting the quiz together. So, for this one, it's gone.

[jay/wt4evr]

yayyy the Foovatar up to grab that's it gals

[Paint the Sky]

KPQ3 Round One closed.

[Paint the Sky]

And, please, don't discuss the possible answers while the round is in play, I won't be a happy a kitten

[Dorothy]

[Paint the Sky]

will there be spanking if kitten gets unhappy

No spanking, but quite possibly an ass kicking

The rules for the quiz are on page 1 of the thread, just scroll down and you'll find them.

If you have any questions or comments, just pm me.

[jay/wt4evr]

Dah, I was debating whether that last one was Alicia Silverstone or Gillian Anderson.

[Paint the Sky]

Dah, I was debating whether that last one was Alicia Silverstone or Gillian Anderson.

If it's any consolation only two people guessed right on that one, and I can see where you got Alicia Silverstone from - definately a similarity. The other two both thought it was Madonna.

Only you and one other got Tom Cruise, so you can take some comfort on that one.

Boschi, ktv and Knock yourself out: Is there something you've forgotten to do today?

Just under 3 hours left, but I'll leave the round open until I get your answers.

Boschi, ktv and Knock yourself out: Is there something you've forgotten to do today?

i read that and thought to sniff my breath to make sure i'd brushed my teeth... off to answer now!

[Knock yourself out]

It was a terrible picture of Gillian Anderson - stick with the red Scully.
