Thanks Michael as you can see I was ready and waiting at noon I love quizzes and have done them since the 1980s This is a really good one Well done I know its hard work compiling one so thanks again
too hard for me but enjoyed reading questions and variety of answers. I’d still want quiz’s even if I can’t do them. Thanks for taking the time. 👍
Looking forward to the answers, I will still have learned something.
Well done on a great quiz!Me thinks some people aren't reading the questions correctly for example Which five CITIES in EUROPE have the busiest airports.
I also think there's a lot of Googling going on unless I'm extremely lacking in general knowledge! 🤪🤣🤣🤣
The point being that in a previous post regarding a quiz of his he wrote,
'A short but challenging quiz today designed to stop the use of Google!'
Which is ironic when you consider he doesn't research the questions but copies and pastes them without giving credit to the websites that he gets them from.
It's called plagiarism. Presenting work or ideas from another source as your own.
It took me approximately 1 minute to find the quiz from question 1, and would have taken about 1 minute to post it on here. There are 8 questions at the end of this quiz which are not part of the copied questions, only Michael can answer where those questions came from.
If people like quizzes they can use the link to enjoy more of the same without waiting for Michael to copy and paste them.
I went on holiday to Torquay with some friends, all quizzers, on the way back we bought a quiz book to amuse ourselves on the journey home. In the evening, we did a quiz in our local pub and guess what, the very first quiz in the book was the same quiz that evening. The person who compiled the quiz was getting paid £50 per quiz for doing next to nothing and he was extremely embarrassed when we pointed out his deception.
One last point, this is very close to contravening the BHF guidelines which state:
- Post any third-party surveys, polls or material that infringes any legal rights – for example, copyright or other proprietary rights.
great quiz. I did about the same as others so maybe over half. I didn’t write the answers though because it would mean scrolling back and forth too much!
