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. :)

1) The doctor.
2) Wilhem Tell.
3) Eris, or the for the uneducated heathen, Strife. XD I always kinda figured that apple might be a pun for 'bad omen', since in Latin and Greek the two words are freakishly alike.
4) Isaac Newton.
5) The Beatles, I think.
6) A Granny Smith.
7) Computers.
8) Stevie Wonder. It's the song for my girlfriend and eye. It was playing when we first met.
9) A big, big dragon by the name of Ladon.
10) Um, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie? That's the only celebrity couple I know of.

10. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, I think. I think Brad and Angelina came up with something even more bizarre - which I can't remember!

1. The doctor
2. William Tell
3. Eris the goddess of Discord, and yes the words are freakishly alike in Latin malus/-a/-um - bad thing/omen, malum - apple...
4. Newton
5. The Beatles
6. It is green...so a Granny Smith???
7. Computers
8. Stevie Wonder
9. The Hesperides -- a group of nymphs
10. Gweneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

I know, I know...Someone already answered the questions, but darn it this was the first time I knew all the answers to this thing, and I was still too late. Anyway...I feel like a smart, well read, intelligent person now (which isn't always the case after seeing the daily quiz), so I'm off to conquer the world hehe

Super everyone!! As you were all spot on on practically every question I'll only comment on the last two:

9) Points are given for Hesperides as well as Ladon - think some versions only list the dragon while others mention both, and others again focus on the nymphs - if Squirreling Android wants to add something here, he should have steered clear of LED's crazy PM-idea ;p - even though the moose dance was hilarious :D
10) Yep, it was Gweneth Paltrow and Chris Martin

So we have a tie again - whoever knows how to do a winsor knot gets the honour of posting the new quiz ;)

Nooo, it wasn't meant to be taken that literally, you can still post a new quiz. Please?? With lots of sugar on top :)

Can't believe there wasn't a shiny new quiz waiting today. Maybe a paranoid squirrel told everyone to boycott the daily pub quiz because someone forgot to credit him for also getting all the answers correct??
