Diary Room forfeit

[BOC Brother]

For continued use of the Diary Room without permission, BB has decided to set the group another forfeit.

Here is a quiz. There are 10 questions, 13 answers plus the bonus link (worth 2 points). Housemates must submit their individual entries by pm to BB by 12pm on Friday and will be expected to score an average of 12 points to escape further sanctions.

BOC Brother Great Little Quiz

1. It was never built, but was depicted in music. What was it and who wrote the piece?
2. Was once said to be the only man-made object visible from space
3. The lowest of a family of woodwind instruments
4. Classical symphony - composer's name and the number of the symphony required
5. Contradictory march? Name and composer required
6. Garden bird
7. Conflict renamed after a number of years
8. Painful experience for a rock & roll singer?
9. Tune often heard at England games - all the more appropriate now!
10. According to legend, not the best of cooks

There is a common factor that links all the answers. What is it?

Thanks,

BB.

[dyl]

[PeterBale]

I'm sorry, i don't even get the task.

Is the 3rd one C*n*ra**ss**n?

The others will have to do especially well to get an average score of twelve then, won't they :twisted: :?: :wink:

[2nd man down]

If I've got the link right, number 8 is positively disgusting!! But accurate!! :? :shock:

[BOC Brother]

To clarify - BB expects answers from all 10 housemates that are currently in the competition.

However, the total score from each submitted set of answers will be divided by 10 to obtain the average - whatever happens! You do the maths! :twisted:

[Sellers_Bird]

[super_sop]

D'you realise some aren't even questions...

Benny: even you should realise that the only ones with questions are those where clarification in required :shock: :twisted: :!:

[HBB]

and maybe the Mods could do with a spelling book or something :twisted: :shock: :lol:

Sorry for the unintentional omission: It should of course have read: " . . . where clarification in detail is required" :wink:

[WhatSharp?]

Still think BB is being a bit unfair! (only a few posted in the DR!) anyway you have my answers, do we get to know our scores?

[PeterBale]

I'm sure BOC Brother will take great delight in revealing your scores :twisted:

I understand he is still waiting for several entries - remember, deadline 12 noon :wink:

[PeterBale]

70 minutes to go, the clock is ticking, and 3 entries to come :twisted:

[Seedhouse]

[HBB]

[BOC Brother]

The deadline for submitting your answers has now passed. BB will announce your individual results shortly...........................

[Seedhouse]

How long will it take before we find out the results plz BB?

[BOC Brother]

With the deadline having passed, here are the answers, as given by WhatSharp, one of four housemates to get full marks (given a little leniency over question 4, but we can afford to be generous :wink: ):


OOh nasty BB putting in a WOODWIND question!

1. It was never built, but was depicted in music. What was it and who wrote the piece?

Great Gate of Kiev, Modest Mussorgsky

2. Was once said to be the only man-made object visible from space

Great Wall of China

3. The lowest of a family of woodwind instruments

Great Bass Recorder

4. Classical symphony - composer's name and the number of the symphony required

Schubert; Symphony Number 9, "The Great"

5. Contradictory march? Name and composer required

The Great little army, Kenneth J Alford

6. Garden bird

Great Tit

7. Conflict renamed after a number of years

Great War (World War I)

8. Painful experience for a rock & roll singer?

Great Balls of Fire

9. Tune often heard at England games - all the more appropriate now!

Great Escape

10. According to legend, not the best of cooks

Alfred the Great

As for the link well they're all "Great!"

Those housemates who worked out the link scored considerably higher than those who did not, even giving some leeway on the "composer and symphony" question, that could have been worded more clearly.

Nevertheless, despite an average of 12+ for those who sent in entries, the absence of a response from groovy or trombelle means that the housemates have failed yet again.

BOC Brother will get back to you . . .

[WhatSharp?]

<Dances around room>

I diiid it I diiid it!!!!

<realises that we've failed the task>

[BOC Brother]

The rules of the competition were there for all to see. This was a group task, and as a result - the whole group has failed. Housemates' will be informed of their forfeit later on tonight.

[2nd man down]

Plz don't punish the other housemates for my thickness! I will joyfully write an essay on aubergines or bungee jump off a kerb or whatever u want to make up for this.

Oh well said...futile, but well said.
Listen to Groovy BOC Bro, the Aubergine thing sounds good!!!

[groovy]

Oh, have a heart BB! The others shouldn't have 2 suffer for my stupidness, I feel so bad :(

[WhatSharp?]

Actually in defence of Groovy I thought it was Midnight too! (just that I had a moment to finish it on Thursday!). Lets face 12pm is a bit of an uncommon way to put it noon might have been better.

Still I won't hold it against you Groovy not yet anyway!

[groovy]

[super_sop]

Actually groovy i thought it was set for midnight aswell.
