See if there is interest for this.
1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.

A quick one from my desk at work… just to make breitkat cringe some more
And it was all Yellow … and kinda green too…
1. In the song Yellow Submarine by the Beatles what colour is the sea?
2. Yes or No? The song Yellow by Coldplay… any other colour mentioned?
3. By the way, what colour do you mix with yellow to get green?
4. It might just be legend, but who supposedly wrote Greensleeves?
5. And who for?
6. And since we’re such great Shakespearean scholars which of his plays refers to Greensleeves (twice even)?
7. Leonard Cohen has covered Greensleeves, he also wrote Hallelujah [from Shrek 1 if that helps - ooh Shrek is Green …mmm continuity], name someone who’s covered Hallellujah.
8. Theme from Shrek 2 “Holding out for a hero” was co-written by Jim Steinman, who did he more famously write songs for?
9. A Yellow flag in auto-racing signifies what?
10. What kind of flag signifies the end of an auto race [and the end of this quiz!]
... answers tomorrow ;)

Yes, Squirrel, with your questions I'll probably have to do a lot of Googling. Well, it's never too late for learning.
