Ok, so this is probably the last game of March (unless I get bored between now and Monday). There isn't a lot between the two key areas of the leaderboard - those who want to win and those who want to beat Ezza, so pay attention, you could still do well!

Since everyone seemed to enjoy the musical version last time, I have done another one similar.

March Leaderboard

  • Bonanzoid: 405 points (played 3 games)

  • Yudster: 395 points (played 3 games)
  • Ballbag: 380 points (played 3 games)
  • Charlalottie: 315 points (played 3 games)
  • Sunny So Cal: 315 points (played 3 games)
  • Rustybike: 300 points (played 3 games)
  • S4B: 270 points (played 2 games)
  • TIAL: 260 points (played 3 games)
  • Geek: 255 points (played 2 game)
  • Wurzel: : 240 points (played 3 games)
  • Ezza: 235 points (played 3 games)
  • Topher: 235 points (played 3 games)
  • UncleJoesMintBalls: 230 points (played 2 game)
  • Tom Greeni: 210 points (played 3 games)
  • Timp: 140 points (played 2 games)
  • Zoot: 140 points (played 1 game)
  • Spaceboy: 120 points (played 1 game)
  • Quincy: 65 points (played 1 game)


Da Rewlz:

  • There are three rounds in each game. Each question is harder than the one before it. That said, they are only hard if you don't know the answer!
  • Each question in round one is worth 5 points, round two is 10 points and round three is 15 points.
  • Checking your answers is not allowed (i.e. googling them). This is only for fun so I shall trust that you haven't cheated.
  • However, you have two chances to get help throughout the quiz. These lifelines take the form of being allowed to check two of your answers (i.e. on Google or Wikipedia), but you need to indicate that you have done so. These answers will only get you five points each, regardless of which round they are in.
  • To give your answers, please reply with only the question number and the letter A, B, C or D. This way it shouldn't be spoiled for those answering after you. I'll probably not give the correct answers for a couple of days.
  • I will PM you your score out of 15 and the number of points you have received. The points will go into the leaderboard. Unfortunately, I can't promise to tell you which ones you personally got correct or wrong.
  • The quiz masters decision is final (unless you can convince me otherwise!)

See, I knew I wasn't going totally mad! My dad has examples of both too, but I don't tend to take much notice.. I do know they both use reeds though.

I'm not arguing, I'm stating a fact! But having said that - the quizmaster's answer is final and I won't argue with that.

I think we should have a film round too, if we're going for specifics. I may well not get very many on that either, but I'd give it a shot.
