The Star Wars quiz got me 98%. :)

(Yeah, I know, I'm a geek . . .)

(Also - one of the two questions I got wrong because I assumed that the quiz writer had read the expanded universe! :) ).

OK, struggling on the Dr. Who. First one (modern Who), 10/30--which, let's face it, is what I should have averaged if I just guessed all of them, rather than most of them. 12/25 for the Classic Who quiz, which is a little bit better!

I ended up having to resort to random guesses in both quizzes, but I still got 12/30 in the first and 5/35 in the second, so there must be something wrong with my brownian motion generator....

There was only one question in the two quizzes combined that I actually knew the answer to, and it's not something that I'm particularly proud of remembering. The rest was pure guesswork and not worth quoting the scores on.

I think my "brain attic" has already too much rubbish in it already so 15 for the first one and 13 for the second.

This weeks first quiz is on page 4, I wasn't going to put one up this week, but greypanther asked, so here it is...

http://www.quizfactor.com/quiz/sci-fi-movies/78

A nice time limited 'Who starred in what' time limited quiz, so if you don't answer on time it moves on to the next question. Nice and evil :twisted:

I'm sure I won't fail as badly in this as I did in the Dr Who quiz. (edit: that my 13 year old daughter just destroyed me on by getting three times my score :( )

I'll do it in a bit, but right now I'm busy dealing with a poorly cat.

13/20 in 2:43

which I will promptly blame on distractions caused by my cat trying to jump about when he shouldn't, and not on my being probably rubbish.....

OK, 11/20 in a time of 2:38, not impressive, but to more important matters mrbadger: What is wrong with your cat? :roll:

Do not forget the Dr. Who quiz too!

An argument with a car, resulting in a broken leg. It wouldn't be so bad, except he has to be stopped from jumping about, which the little bleep keeps trying to do now his leg is pinned up and no longer hurting.

He's only allowed out of his cage to eat and get a little exercise for a few minutes a day, but you have to watch him like a hawk...

Ouch!
That is the sort of thing that worries me most about our cat, she has no street sense at all and some of the maniacs round here speed up, to try and get cats! I do not envy you having to keep him in a cage all the time, I have no idea how you manage it to be honest.

I hope your master gets better soon, for both your sanities...

I have as much trouble getting my daughter not to let him out of the cage. She doesn't seem to grasp that if the plates come loose his leg will have to be amputated.

It causes a few arguments....

If we leave him in the cage and watch him when he's let out to eat things are usually ok, aside from the odd 'how the bleep did he get up there!' episode....

It's a big cage at least.

7/8 CORRECT
119/150 POINTS
Yeah, a little easy perhaps. Knowing very little about the subject I was fully expecting do very badly.
