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. :)

It's Vltava, and all the answers are correct. And I have one more question: why did the quiz die? I've read the whole thread and it was great. Let's try to resurrect it. Come on, sleuths, post your questions!

It’s topical, tropical, a little myopical... and even somehwhat hip-hop-ical [*sighs*]

TOPICAL
1. How many times has the ‘Welcome Newbies Thread’ been bumped to the top of the Newbies Board? (As of when this was posted.)
2. Which of these is NOT a Nancy Drew Novel:

A. Werewolf in a Winter Wonderland
B. The Chocolate-Covered Contest
C. Whispers in the Fog
D. The Secret of the Broken Clock.

3. Who were the winners of the last two seasons of American Idol.
4. Who won the last Sleuth Avatar Beauty Pageant?

TROPICAL
5. Is a coconut a nut?
6. Who wrote the poem / prose commonly know as ‘No man is an Island...’ (more uncommonly known as Meditation XVII)

MYOPICAL
7. If you are myopic are you short-sighted or long-sighted?
8. Who is Secret Squirrel’s sidekick?

HIP HOP-ical
9. Who died? Run or DMC?
10. What’s Fergie from the Black Eye Peas real first name?

Special Bonus Point if you know which long running American Children’s television she was in... [yes and im looking for amod to delete the first one i stuffed up :)]

2. Secret of the Broken Clock. (Should be Secret of the Old Clock)
3. Not a clue
4. Croesus
5. The coconut is a seed
6. John Donne
7. Myopia is short (near)-sightedness
8. Morocco Mole
9. Don't know, don't care
10. Don't know
Special: Don't know that either :)

So, there are my answers. *grin*

Della: all right except,
1: was from beginning of WN post to the time I posted the questions. So lot more than 0...
3, 9 & 10 which were skipped.
I admit my response to 9 would be similar, but not the required answer... half points perhaps.
(4. Is Croesy2002 but I'll accept Croesus as maybe that's his Latin name.)
I'll post full answers at 'clock-over' so someelse can have a go :)

Ugh! Did it from memory, and my memory for names is something else again sometimes. Croesy was what I meant. Could see the pic in my mind, but I get a little dyslexic at times. *grin*
I misunderstood the question on bumps for the WN post. Thought you meant from the time you posted the questions. *grin* Mea Culpa

As for #9. NOT a rap fan. *grin* half points more than I expected for that answer.

Saw a Black Eyed Peas cd in the store today when I was looking for the new Andrea Bocelli cd. Thought of this quiz. *grin*
