O specialist quiz
Posted: Thu Aug 07, 2008 10:25 am
In the absence of any new Countdown shows, thought I'd compile a quiz with a twist à la Jason for everyone's entertainment/frustration/annoyance. The twist with this one being that all the answers begin with the letter O. So all those that feel they were cheated in COOT now have their chance to shine! 30 questions, 1 point for each correct answer. I shall also reward obscure knowledge, so if you are the sole person to answer a certain question correctly you get an added bonus point for that question. Answers in a pm to me please. Deadline is whenever I feel like revealing the answers. Proably Monday. Good luck!
