Daily Quiz

[Tonyblack]

Sharlene and I do a daily online quiz. You win points for speed as well as how many you get right and it's a good deal of fun. I'm not sure how we can do it here short of me setting up a quiz league like the one we are already in and I'm not sure that would work.

So the following is just for fun. It's not a competition. I'll post a new set of questions each day and you can answer them any way you like. I'll post the answers the following day.

The quiz has several different topics - some are much harder than others. Some are ridiculously easy.

There are no prizes and I'm not keeping any scores - just see how well you do.

Beware - these questions are submitted by the general public and sometimes contain mistakes. The answers I shall give will be the answers that are given for the quiz. I won't get into an argument about whether they are right or wrong.
