Monthly Quiz

Monthly quiz
Please get in touch with the Quiz Master at monthlyquiz@lalg.org.uk if you are interested in setting a quiz for us.

We hold fun, general knowledge quizzes every month from October to March, with different people setting the questions each time. Questions are published on this website and you email your answers to the quiz host at the end of every round. The correct answers are published during the quiz and you email your score at the end of the evening. Results are published the following day.

You can play on your own or in a team of up to 6 people in your team. You may be together, or in different places and communicating using your preferred method (eg phone, Zoom, Skype). Questions are all text - no images - so people can join teams via phone if they wish. 

There is no entry fee and there are no prizes but we hope you have fun and learn something new.  But no looking things up though - that's cheating!! 

Details of upcoming quizzes and their hosts are given in the Events Panel.

January Quiz Results

Many thanks to all members of the thirteen teams who took part in last evenings quiz.  The results (see below) seem to suggest that some of the rounds were far too easy, so our apologies if that upset the balance of thinking time and drinking time necessary to complete the quiz.

 

Thank you to the Carrot Cakes for an excellent soap-themed quiz.  Here is their post-match report:

 

We are back, bleary eyed but fighting fit and ready with the post-match report. Congratulations to all the teams who spotted our deliberate mistakes.

1. Round 2, question 4 – after trying to contact Mystic Meg (turns out even spirits take Christmas off) we decided that we would accept both Aquarius and Pisces.

Quiz Results

A big thanks to everyone who took part in the quiz. It was really close all the way through and we enjoyed the close battle as we marked. In the end there were only 2 points between the top three teams. Big congratulations to Figment who won with 86 points.

A few things we learned:

We hope you have recovered from yesterday evening’s quizzing exertions; we haven’t, but, as Ned Kelly said, ‘such is life…’

Some notes about the answers:

Thanks everyone for participating in what turned out to be quite a tricky quiz. We hope you enjoyed taking part as much as we did putting it together.

Round 1 proved to be the lowest scoring - how quickly the big news stories of only a few months ago fade from the memory! Round 3 had the best scores - you know your trees.

Thank you to The Stots team for an excellent quiz. Here is their post-match report and the results table.

Your host tonight: Val

Well done everyone, and thank you for taking part in the November quiz.  I hope you found it enjoyable - even if a couple of the rounds were more difficult than others!

Thank you to everybody who participated in the October LALG online quiz. Congratulations to the Smashing Pumpkins who came first with 90 points  In second place, with 89 points were 60% Zoom and Gloom, (who needs the other 40%?!) and following very closely behind on 88 points were All the Ws. Well done!

Thank you to Rhona and Chris for getting our quizzing season off to a great start.
