Edit: A smarter man than myself would have checked what the correct answer was before doing the quiz, as it inevitably came up and I predictably got it wrong.

Poor question alright, this category is rife with them mind.
Though at least it's about someone people will have heard of. Will sound like I'm auditioning for Grumpy Old Men now, but I would have thought that one of the first requirements, in fact THE pre-eminent requirement, for any celebrity is that we should know who the f**k they are?

This internet connection at work is gone gank this last while, thought for a good bit I was going to get the 'cannot find server' page after submitting. Not that it mattered a whole lot today!

Who were David Cassidy's parents?
A better question might be who is David Cassidy?

Though the worst was asking the name of a character Red Skelton played in a film they described but didn't bother to name and I got that one right.

How I got 7 in that I'll never know.
I'll say it now, congratulations Hitman!

Get out of that with your mind games, my failure in the next few days will now be intentional rather than down to my ineptitude. Honestly.

This is the way the question was

3. Who are David's parents (birth parents, not steps)?

I think the answer chice was
(A)Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy
(B)Marty Ingels and Shirley Jones
(C)Evelyn Ward and Jack Cassidy
(D)Joanna Cassidy and Jack Cassidy

The correct answer was Evelyn Ward and Jack Cassidy.

Shirley Jones was his step-mother, Marty Ingels is her present husband. I don't think Joanna Cassidy is related to the family

Congratulations Hitman.
Impressive late surge by Stann in the end though.
Good contest, enjoyed it.

Thanks. Three cheers for everyone though, it was a decent contest alright. I'd particularly like to thank Noah for ensuring at least one easy question on the Bible each week, and everyone who has politely avoided pointing out that in two extra days I managed to get one point more than Stann.

**stann** · 03/03/2009, 7:22 PM

Immaterial. You were defending a lead. Which you did with aplomb.

Can I just say, I have a strong dislike for 'people' and also for my laptop taking over a minute to 'submit' because of a slow wifi connection [I guess that's what slowed it anyway]

Or were you trying to close Google at the same time as submitting your answers

Me too. I'd no idea who at least half of the questions were about.

**stann** · 11/03/2009, 2:02 PM

Just to keep this on page one. Why don't I just bookmark it?

**HarpoJoyce** · 14/03/2009, 10:28 AM

10. Which of these was NOT thrown in the fiery furnace?

Your Answer: Shadrach
The correct answer was Cadillac.

I should hope not neither.

**Hitman** · 18/03/2009, 8:42 AM

If anyone out there is looking for an idea for a thesis, it might be worth their while tracking the correlation between the decline in my scores and exposure to Paul Doonil's "football".

**gustavo** · 27/03/2009, 7:52 AM

8. Catherine Zeta-Jones starred as a movie star in which of these movies?

Your Answer: Entrapment

The correct answer was America's Sweethearts.

She was in Entrapment too

**stann** · 28/03/2009, 11:14 AM

I got caught by that one a few weeks back, read the question! I didn't either.

She was in Entrapment for sure, can't remember the other options but she probably was in those too, but she didn't star "as a movie star" in them.

**passinginterest** · 01/04/2009, 8:49 AM

I think I got brain damaged at some point early last month, hopefully things will improve in April!

Cheers, thought I'd left the door open a bit yesterday. Hard luck tiktok!

Don't need to be giving you any head starts either Hitman!

You can't beat a decent test of general knowledge:

"9. You're at a stop light and you notice the person in the car next to you - ahem - picking their nose. This is an exercise that you have always personally found appalling. Private gripes aside, what is the best way to proceed?"
