Quiz needed today for work - can anyone help?

[colchestersid]

I'd forgotten I was supposed to host a quiz at work this afternoon - does anyone have anything in their back pocket they can email me? Power point/pdf? I am UK based, usual sort of general knowledge/film - TV type rounds, 40 or so questions. I normally write one myself but I'm up to my eyeballs at the moment!

If you can I'll DM you my email address

[Duncan Gardner]

Can do Sir. Will send to you by 1300 today

[colchestersid]

Thanks - I have sent you my email address!

[Guy Profumo]

Oo. Oo. Can we play too?

[Sporting]

Ditto

[Antepli Ejderha]

A quiz? Excellent news

[pebblethefish]

If it's Duncan setting the questions, then they'll all be cryptic clues that I don't understand

[Duncan Gardner]

If I can upload this bastard pdf you are all welcome...

I knew the answer to that one!

I like the maths one - it rewards the use of an efficient method.

[colchestersid]

Thanks - turned out the quiz at work got cancelled (everyone else too busy as well) but I'll keep it handy

24/40 by the way, not sure if that's a good score or not

[Duncan Gardner]

Glad to help

I expect Guy Profumo as clubhouse leader, possibly after a steward's enquiry

I'm lodging an early objection to the Tony Curtis question, if the answer is more than one.

I'm concerned about the Bonn question. I feel like the answer to it probably involves a full length, well researched book.

[Duncan Gardner]

And a warm welcome back to senior OTF stalwart G Costanza (other aliases are available)

Solutions to follow
