<after much scratching of heads>

Oh yes but of course that was the answer

<looks of bewilderment>

I thought this quiz was not that difficult it was just about reading the question however of the 5 people that entered 1 got 10 out of 10

The answers are as follows
1. 13
2. The other one is a 50p or no its a 5p
3. It is one more pound (and for those who said it was written badly it is supposed to be so you think year not number)
4. incorrectly
5. No he is dead
6. none its a hole
7. all of them
8. Neither 8+8=16
9. no time, the ladder rises with the tide…along with the boat
10. 9, mum, dad, 6 sisters, 1 brother

Well I said I would dig out a prize and I have a spare badge from the Avon Bear Hunt the person who got all 10 correct was Moz Morris who can be found if your interested blogging at Moz’s Musings – Moz if you get in touch and let me know where you want the badge sent to I will post it on (it is the one shown at the top)

Quiz and Curry Night

Posted on 23 June, 2010 by Kiff

Hello Dear Reader

Last weekend, I took part in the now annual event that is the 43rd Bristol Scout Group Quiz and Curry Night. It is one of the two major fundraising event that we complete each year and it is a great laugh.
I get the role of Quiz Master which includes setting the quiz as well as reading out the questions and running proceedings on the night.

The night its self is a fairly simple concept, run a bar, have a quiz, cook a curry, raise money.

However a lot of work goes on behind the scenes to make it all happen, my job is easy organise some questions, collect some pictures for the picture round read them out. Saturday is a hive of activity with chairs and tables being collected and set up, barrels of beer being tapped and left to settle, rice and curry being cooked in military quantities.

This year we had about 107 people at the event and I think we will make just shy of £1000 form the evening not bad for a quiz.

However I thought I would use my hard work to my advantage and make very easy blog post.

I am going to give you all two questions from each round and see how you get on post your answers in the comments below (No using google and cheating now).
