Weekly Quiz

Well last weeks quiz certainly had a theme to it that a couple of you enjoyed, and that is because it produced a First. Ironic really as the theme of this weeks quiz is Firsts and Beginnings!
Yes for the first time, someone (due to my generosity) has got themselves 100%, but not just 1 person it’s two! Although they didn’t get reason for the chin being the odd one out that I was after, they did provide a good valid case which earned them the points.
So KIM and WILL, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am going to have to work hard to make this weeks quiz a lot harder for you two! I tossed a coin and it’s Kim who gets to pick the theme of next weeks quiz!

Scores: - Kim 50, Will 50, Mum a respectable 27 and a half!

On with this weeks quiz then:


Round 1: Scenic Scenes

Below I have drawn, well doodled as I am rubbish at drawing, a tranquil scene, containing scenes from 5 movies, you just need to give me the movie, and what connects them all.

Round 2: Part What?

All the scenes here come from the original film or from one of the sequels, you just have to give me the name of the film and if it is from the original or its sequel. So if I showed a scene from Superman 3 your answer would be Superman/part 3. Whereas if I showed a scene from Spiderman your answer would be Spiderman/original, are we clear? Good let’s carry on. For a bonus 5, which one of the 10 is the odd one and why?

And so ends this week’s quiz, thanks Will it has been a challenge to compile, Finally one for fun.

What most probably was the name of the first man to be shot at Rorkes Drift?

William, because the commander shouted to his troops, “FIRE AT WILL!!!”

Answers to last weeks quiz: Well all I can say is check Kim or Will's answers! The Chin was the Odd one out as the stage show of the films, Sound of Music (Julie Andrews), Grease (ONJ/Travolta), Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Dick Van Dyke) all were done AFTER the films. Whereas Chicago with Catherine Zeta Jones was made AFTER the Stage show of the Liza Minelli film. But like I said there reason was just as good!
