Just clarify why have they used World: UK. Surely it's the same thing. The UK is the World isn't it?

I just copied and pasted quickly. It's because there is 4 or 5 topics under 'World' for example: "World: UK" "World: Asia" "World: Europe" is all.

Glad you all like it, I got a paltry 5.

What I wouldn't have given for a 5

6 today, but what on earth was this question doing in General Knowledge: Difficult...

What is 2 and 2?

**Schumi** · 07/11/2008, 11:36 AM

First 10/10 of the new regime!

**thischarmingman** · 07/11/2008, 12:28 PM

9, that wasn't too bad today. I lost out on where in the world "Jerk Chicken" was eaten.

First sketch in this show might help you out!

**Mr A** · 07/11/2008, 1:52 PM

Jeez, those questions today were rock hard!

**Red&White Rover** · 07/11/2008, 1:59 PM

Some of mine were beyond ridiculous

**passinginterest** · 07/11/2008, 2:12 PM

Much more interesting though. Ashamed to say I didn't know which war the Battle of Hamburger Hill took place in. Had a couple of 'educated' guesses too.

**Battery Rover** · 07/11/2008, 2:54 PM

Really hard questions but no complaints it has become more interesting and we are at least learning something everyday

**sligoman** · 09/11/2008, 6:32 PM

Feck this, bring back the other questions!

**Schumi** · 09/11/2008, 6:59 PM

No way! Much better this way.

Ah, the first surrender.

My knowledge of literature is non existant and my score today proves it.

But still enjoying it and learnt some stuff today I would never have known otherwise.

**passinginterest** · 10/11/2008, 9:43 AM

Three Stephen King questions, two on the dark Tower series, two other questions about fantsy literature, two on Shakespeare (a quote I should have know and on obscure character in a minor play) and two on ancient Greek literature/mythology. I think the only one I was sure of was a Sherlock Holmes story! Embarrassed to admit that my degree is in English, Media and Cultural Studies

**Schumi** · 10/11/2008, 11:50 AM

Ha ha. I was confident about 6 and completely guessed the other 4.

I love this new set of quizzes.

**dfx-** · 10/11/2008, 3:03 PM

Would've had 8 if I pressed Narcissus as a Greek myth instead of a latin word

Also got dark tower questions, Shakespeare and Stephen King questions..

**pineapple stu** · 10/11/2008, 3:15 PM

Ah, the Dark Tower.

Did that book have an actual point? Only read the first one, but it was one of the most rambling books I've ever read. I can't remember a single thing that happened, other than there being a tower which never got any nearer no matter how much yer man walked.

I read the third one, I think it was a Christmas or birthday present, so it made even less sense. I certainly didn't rush out to read the rest of them (if I had I'd have gotten at least 2 more questions right)!
