I wish.

[Paint the Sky]

I think my score is wrong for R4 because there is no way I got 18 points.

You're right, it should have been 10, I copied ktv's score twice, but have you correct in my excel file.

16, 18, 14, and 10 are your scores per round, so at least 58 is right.

Maybe this isn't a good time to tell you all maths isn't my strong point

Ah, it wouldn't be like me if it all ran smoothly - lol.

Hey all, I have started putting together the next quiz and hope to have it ready for Sunday 31st August. I won't change the thread title just yet in case RL gets in the way, but I've two rounds completed, so it's very likely I'll stay on track.

I'm gonna stick with a picture round, it's a nice easy one to put together, and anything with less work always appeals to me - lol.

I might drop entertainment this time, and re-instate History. I'll see which batch of questions are easier to put together, and take it from there.

Rules are on page one, about halfway down. Give them a read, and if you feel like giving it a go, you are more than welcome to play along.

[masterjendu]

Woo and Hoo!

[Paint the Sky]

Woo and Hoo!

Is that for the imminent quiz, or because I'm putting history back in

I'm gonna be ready for the 31st. I've three rounds completed and the fourth is almost done.

Tomorrow is a bank holiday in the UK, so I should get it finished soon.

[masterjendu]

All of the above, Missy! Just lookin forward to the quiz!

I hope you and your banks have a great day off!!!
