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. :)

I need to make one correction... Mary Jane Acheson should be replaced by Mary Elizabeth Acheson!

Everything is correct now :)

Thank you, BadAss, but I hope Greyling will make up the next one because she had most correct answers in the previous quiz.

Hahahahha - nice evasive action, Rosamund ;)
I'm just teasing, thanks for passing on the baton. I'm working on a colour-quiz #2 (although the first one wasn't even mine), but I'm only halfway through so that'll just have to wait.

Instead I'll pick up on yesterday's enjoyment of other languages (I thought Patroklo has such a great heroic ring to it), and do a short little guessing game quiz just for the fun of it based on a chat I had yesterday with a co-director, who has generously provided me with a dictionary so I can understand what he's saying :D


The Australian (it's still English (sort of :p) so we can all play along) Slang Quiz. What do you think the words actually refer to?

1) Fruit loop
2) Hooroo
3) Joey
4) Jumbuck
5) moo juice
6) Mozzie
7) Mystery bag
8) Sanger
9) Sunnies
10) Yakka
