On the tip of my tongue

[nerner]

Well, I've just joined and I figured that I'd share a quiz with you all.

It's a regular quiz so I'll update it every Monday except when I can't post here. The idea is that answers are PM'ed to me so that the quiz isn't spoilt; this could lead to there being an overall leaderboard.

I'll put the leaderboard here when there is a need for one.

Answers will be posted on Saturday, slightly earlier than I intended to do originally because of the fact that I have to go to London for a week. But new questions will be posted on Saturday too.

I also hope that there will be more questions next time, as many which I thought of were unsuitable since they involved lists...

So far the two entrants have scores of 11 and 9, so it's pretty close.

And becksy could you PM your answers to me so as not to spoil any answers for anyone else. Thanks.

Full provisional leaderboard as of this morning, so that I don't forget the scores:

Ian B: 11
wildrover: 11
JUS: 9
Rob_Bob: 8
Buzzie: 6

Provisional leaderboard:

JUS: 16

Also, I just realised that I made a boo-boo with the picture round. So I might make the quiz out of 21 instead of 22.

Just to let everyone know, this round is going to be extended for a few weeks while I'm away (again). I'll post the answers and scores in a few weeks.
