Christmas Quiz 2005
Merry Christmas! This year’s quiz has no theme as such, just a mixed bag of
questions. However, the first letters
of the answers (all of one word, though one is normally hyphenated) spell out
some well-known words.
I am sure you will soon see what those are,
but, if you do need a hint, remember there’s always a clue in the
questions.
There are 25 questions, one mark for each
right answer, and a bonus of 25, which I will award for the words spelled out
correctly, making a maximum possible of 50.
In order to award the magnificent virtual prize I have in mind before
Christmas, please let me have your entries by 23 December. I’ll post answers and results on Christmas
Eve. Good luck.
