QuizMusings: October 2014

http://quizmusings.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Not posted that much recently - too much legal reading. :( Still, I've started a spreadsheet database of questions, which I add to when I find something sufficiently interesting / likely to come up (or so I think) in a future quiz. I'm going to extend the deadline for the second 100Quiz until the end of the month. Not got a chance to sort it all out yet but I will do. So, anyone who hasn't had a chance to enter yet, you've still got time to do so if you wish. Who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature...

QuizMusings: July 2014

http://quizmusings.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Around a year or two ago, I was watching TV one day, bored, when I stumbled across a new quiz show - The Chase. Truth be told, I didn't know, but I sure was going to find out. And from there it started and spiralled. I've always had a fairly decent general knowledge for my age, I think - I remember having a pack of world capitals snap cards when I was younger, and I'd always had encyclopaedias and an interest in reading from a young age, but The Chase. Protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. Set Fire to the Ra...
