7 Days, 7 Questions

[Mumpo]

The BBC website's Quiz of the Week's News

...and every week - except once, ages ago - I conspicuously fail to get all seven questions correct. Sometimes it's close, but just when I've got the tricky political and economic ones right, they'll ask who's oldest out of Lady Gaga and Matt Baker, or something. Today I recovered from a shaky start (I have no idea what a Ford Focus looks like) to get a fairly respectable 5/7.

Next week, all seven. Nailed on.

Ermmmm - 1/7. D'oh.

I'd have got two but I don't know what a Ford Focus looks like.

So that's three out of three of us who have no idea what a Ford Focus looks like. Looks like Ford have a slight marketing issue here...

2/7. I know what a Focus looks like, chumps.

The other one was a guess.

This won't work for me at all.

I don't know if it is a browser (Chrome) or IP Address (US) issue.

It's a browser issue. It takes a time to load.

I got 4 out of 7, so it clearly isn't a Brit thing (though the question in question meant I got it right as I know what a Focus looks like but don't keep so upto date on UK political BS).

I would think you might get similar, scoring on completely different questions. Probably higher, due to the hive mind, but 7 would surprise me. Or involve new recruits.

ursus, worked for me on Chrome.

I got the Focus because I think that's the only model of those shown that's in the US, and thanks to OTF I got the Focus reference. I guessed on all of the rest and got 3/7.

2/7. Horrendous. Fortunately my knowledge of best-selling albums by female artists and Colombian football saved me from utter disgrace.

4/7. Lots of guessing and there is alway sone question on News Quiz that I know nothing about

[ad hoc]

7 Days, 7 Questions

5/7 As last time. All pretty much guesses though.

(Do people get different questions? I'm struggling to get what Mumpo's reference to best selling albums refers to)

I'd found this one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12919630 Which appears to be sort of the same deal only a bit less UKcentric news, which makes it a bit more up my street. Some crossover questions though

[Mumpo]

Your best bet for the UK one is to go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine/ and follow the link.

A woeful 2 today

[Mumpo]

7 Days, 7 Questions

4/7 today. Recognised Jacko's statute; but oh, if only I'd listened to more Bob Dylan.

[RobM]

5/7 - would've been better if I didn't still hold on to the belief that beer is beneficial to my health.

I have a question for you: how does one look at the old board?

[Wyatt Earp]

Do you mean OTF?

Wow. Nine threads viewed in the last 30 minutes on OTF. Is this how people kill time on a sultry Sunday afternoon?

[Carcass]

7 Days, 7 Questions

Thanks. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to look at the address.

6 of 7. I think that's my record.

[Errorist Sympathiser]

7 Days, 7 Questions

7/7, boo yah! Only had to guess one, too

[Mumpo]

7 Days, 7 Questions

1 (one). Though it did seem especially trivial this week.

[Andy C]

Four guesses right, three guesses wrong.
