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.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

lol that took so long to work out... *drumroll* Cynderbear by the oh so narrowest of margins from Greyling.

....................Wuthering Heights.....................

Out on the wiley, windy moors
Wed roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

................ Kate Bush ........................

Since today is after all today:
"By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive."

I demand a recount!! (sorry Cynder).

rofl... what's your point?

Do you by any chance have a competitive streak? lol

4. The Cheshire Cat > B. Alice's Adventrue's in Wonderland > e. Lewis Carroll > vi. The Beatles > I AM THE WALRUS

5. Dorothy > A. The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz > d. L. Frank Baum > iv. Elton John = GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD

A lesser person (lol) might once again say 'results stand'... but in the interests of the integrity of the Pub Quiz (if not the competitors) I amend my result to declare Greyling the winner. Closely followed by Cynderbear.

Anyway I better get back to my hunt so I can finish and get ready for the Champions round of the AVL...

*lol* - wasn't my point that the judge sucked pretty clear ;p

And no, I don't think I'm any more competitive than the next person - *she said while batting her eyelashes* - if you hadn't brought up the margins, I wouldn't have objected in the least bit :D

Anyway, Cynder, if you have an idea for the next quiz, you're more than welcome to it as I only have this emergency idea up my sleeve that won't be very creative :) - so a couple of hours or else it'll be the emergency idea ;D
