deltablue Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Merry Christmas folks, and welcome to the revived FMCU quiz! The format is simple, every week (hopefully) there will be 10 questions on a whole range of topics and you've got a week to PM in the answers. Since I'd struggle to think up of good questions each week I hope different people will be able to put forward a round each time (and it means I can take part myself, I love quizes). Be sensible and don't make them too 'specialist' though, we had a bit of trouble in the past with people doing a whole round on topics that not many other people knew anything about. I will probably keep a running score but it's just for fun so if you cheat, you're just ruining it for yourself. There will be a bonus point for the best 'funny' answer though that will be at the discression of whoever is setting each round. Additional rules: In order to do a round you still have to be actively taking part when your week comes. No multi-part questions. For reference, here is the link to our last quiz... http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/314680-The-FMCU-Forum-Quiz-Season-2! Round 1 1. Santiago is the capital of which country? 2. Which 3 countries made up the 'Kalmar union' in the late middle ages? 3. Which image is pictured on the flag of Mexico? 4. In the Railway Series/Thomas the Tank Engine, what number is Gordon? 5. Who was the first player to play in 5 World Cups? 6. What was the name of the 12th season of 'Power Rangers' 7. What links Mycroft Holmes, the Master of Laketown and Gordon Deitrich from 'V from Vendetta'? 8. In Doctor Who, how many lives does a Time Lord have? 9. Which country has won the Eurovision Song Contest the most times? 10. In my recently-finished 'Got 99 Problems But Norwich Ain't One' career, who did we beat to win the Champions League for the first time? Good luck, and feel free to put your names forward to do future rounds. I'll update the order on here so people have plenty of time to think up their questions. Round 1: deltablue Round 2: Raware Round 3: Maaka Round 4: Deisler Round 5: DB08 Round 6: LeedsUnitedFan2 Round 7: Wavelberry Round 8: pompeyboyz Round 9: dafuge Round 10: Nobby Round 11: dllu Round 12: deltablue Round 13: Maaka Round 14: Deisler Round 15: Pompeyboyz Round 16: Jimbokav Round 17: dllu Round 18: Round 19: Swooperproop Round 20: deltablue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I forgot all about this quiz we used to do! Props for bringing it back PM sent delta. Steadyish for me. I'll be happy with 5 there. I'll have a go at some questions too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks guys, good to see a few answers in already. Raware, you can do the questions next week if you like. Nobby, let me know when you feel you're able to to a round. Just to clarify for the Mexico flag question (since I'm not sure I phrased it too well), I do want some sort of descripton.

Maaka Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I suppose it's a round a week, so next week (starting mon dec. 28) is the "round 1", then jan. 4 and jan. 11 and so on? Meaning I'm to provide 10 q's to monday january 11, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week is Round 1. I've simply listed people in order they've expressed interest but that can be changed if people can't do specific weeks, and it means that if someone doesn't do their round, we know who to move on to. The idea is that Raware will hopefully have questions in a week's time (preferably Sunday, of not Monday) then you'll be after that for the first week of Jan.

deltablue Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think you post the questions and we all PM you (and every round-setter) our answers. I'll merely add the scores you and everyone else hands out to the running total I'll be keeping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swooperproop Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Before I start participating, is it required that everybody who takes part also "hosts" a round? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 No it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsUnitedFan2 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 To offset the "host disadvantage" by not playing their round, could the host award themselves the average score obtained by all participants in their round? Otherwise there's an incentive for the host to set an impossible round on the basis that if they're scoring 0, so is everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maaka Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 We're just gonna use this thread, right? I'll get some questions up and running for Sunday/Monday Jan 3rd/4th. I'll try to keep them as varied as possible.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There weren't really many of those unfortunately, mainly for the Power Rangers question including the one I think is decent enough to award the bonus point for. I'll do the answers and scores tomorrow evening and then we can move on to round 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Quiz Round 1 - Answers 1. Santiago is the capital of which country? Chile 2. Which 3 countries made up the 'Kalmar union' in the late middle ages? Denmark, Sweden and Norway 3. Which image is pictured on the flag of Mexico? An eagle eating a snake on top of a cactus. I was absurdly generous and gave all of you that simply said 'eagle' but props to EvilDave for being the only person to get the full answer (though Wavelberry came so close) 4. In the Railway Series/Thomas the Tank Engine, what number is Gordon? 4 5. Who was the first player to play in 5 World Cups? Antonio Carbajal, 1950-1966 6. What was the name of the 12th season of 'Power Rangers' Dino Thunder 7. What links Mycroft Holmes, the Master of Laketown and Gordon Deitrich from 'V from Vendetta'? They're all played by Stephen Fry. 'Same Actor/Guy' was close enough 8. In Doctor Who, how many lives does a Time Lord have? 13 9. Which country has won the Eurovision Song Contest the most times? Ireland 10. In my recently-finished 'Got 99 Problems But Norwich Ain't One' career, who did we beat to win the Champions League for the first time? Barcelona There were very few decent 'funny' answers but I think Wavelberry has earned the bonus point (which I hope other QC's will hand out as well) for Power Rangers 12: So very tired.

In which country was the formation 4-3-2-1 (commonly known as the Christmas Tree) believed to have originated from? 4. Which band released the single 'All Together Now', which was inspired by the World War I Christmas truce match? 5. What is the chemical formula of snow? 6. In the song 'The Twelve Days of Christmas', how many pipers are piping? 7. In what town was Jesus born? 8. On December 3rd 1992, the first ever text message was sent. What did it say? 9. Father Christmas is known as Pai Natal in which country? 10. Since the Premier League started, there are only 3 teams not be relegated at the end of the season after sitting bottom of the league at Christmas? Who are they? Good luck everyone .
