"The next (big) quiz"

It's going to be a big one, hopefully 100 questions!

Here's how it's going to work, 10 rounds of 10 questions as follows:

Round 1 - News Round - A recap of the news, most questions will be on quite recent news, though I might stray :P

Round 2 - Your General "General Knowledge" Round - This one explains itself, I hope.

Round 3 - Pot Luck - This will involve questions on History, Geography, Science, Entertainment etc. They will hopefully be quite hard questions to test you :)

Round 4 - Pyramid - This is quite a good one, each question will be asked as follows: Question 1 has 1 answer, Question 2 has 2, 3 has 3 and 4 has 4. So that's 4 questions with 10 answers in total. Anyone lost?

Round 5 - "I'll have a P please, Bob!" - This is another interesting one, I give you the letters to the answer followed by a clue or synonym and you work it out.

Round 6 - Movie Stills - As you can probably guess, this is going to be a round where I'll link you to a picture of a movie still and you tell me which film it is.

Round 7 - Music Round - This will be a round where I link you to a 30 second clip of a piece of music that I've kindly edited :) Then you tell me the title of that song. I've checked around and I'm pretty sure this isn't breaking copyright laws :P

Round 8 - Build Your Answer - Another pot luck round, but the first letters to each of the answers in the first nine questions build your clue to the final question. For example, If the answers followed like this:
Octupus
Politics
Trains
Indigo
Cats
Iris
Ant
Numbers
Skeletons
Then you know question 10 will be to do with OPTICIANS.

Round 9 - Famous People - I'll give you the birth and death dates of a famous person in history, followed by a vague clue, then you work out who it is.

Round 10 - Numbers Round - Don't worry not maths based :) Simply questions like "How many Polos are there in a regular tube of Polos?" Alas, my poor nature will require me to ask a maths based question at question 10 based on the numbers in the answers.



All sound good? Or too complicated in areas?




------------------


Now, if people still want to do staffies vs regulars, the only ways I've come up to do it are as follows:

1) We could let everyone do it individually, then average the scores from staffies and average scores from regulars, but depending on how you look at this, this could give the advantage or disadvantage to the staffies.

2) Work in groups and submit team scores, you could even have original names like "The Dead Parrots", only problem I see with this is the lack of members :P

3) Working in groups, you each take it in turns to answer a round's questions.

I'm open to other ideas



------------------


Also, it seems that people want a certain date for this to be posted, so what works for all of you?

Right! A rules thread :) What do I need to do?

Can't I just update this and sticky it :P

Team Grand Nin will destroy you all.

Sounds great to me! I'll start the rules thread now :)

EDIT: no I won't as I have to go fix my nan's computer for her, it'll be up later tonight hopefully :)

I don't think I'll get any right, Chris' last two quizzes were so difficult that I didnt even enter them :( Why can't he ask easier questions like, which animal has the largest brain? People always get that question wrong.

Good point.

Mind you, if they got them all wrong, we probably wouldn't win anyway...

What did the 70ies ever do for us? :)

What if you answered all your questions correctly pb and your teammate got them all wrong? You'd still let them have the £30?

As a child of the 70's I see that as a challenge :D

Happy to defer any GAD win for this to my team-mates as I've had a fair few GADs already (not that I have a lack of things to spend them on!), but seems fairer that way.

The Goonies are going to win this. Woo! 80ies kids.
