pioneer Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I create most of the Quizzes for my local bowls club and I always l try to make the half time break quiz a bit different. Most of the time I just hash a picture quiz together with no shape of form but I thought of this design for the latest picture quiz. the 16 Box layout and numbers created in Designer. The rest of the work in Photo. I usually just pick images at random but sometimes with a theme. This one has a theme which once guessed makes the quiz even easier.

AffinityJules Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Christian names sound like partially decomposed plant matter. Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.

That’s true of 15, the second one I identified, but not really 4 (instant recognition there!) or 7, and certainly not 2. There are a couple of other familiar faces, but even though I quickly spotted the theme I’m still struggling to put names to them.

Bearing in mind this is a team game and you are coming at this on your own, so you do not have others to pool their knowledge with you. That aside what did you think of the presentation overall for a picture quiz? Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X.

I wrote 'certainly not 2' because he was Russian (so neither his given name nor its diminutive form matches any of the others). I'm afraid I've identified depressingly few at the time of writing. 17 minutes ago, pioneer said: That aside what did you think of the presentation overall for a picture quiz? First class!

First class! Yes you are correct @Alfred He is as you say Russian and his name is Pyotr (Peter in English) Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Cannot make them all too easy there would be no point to a quiz otherwise. I did not know 5 even though I recognised the character he was famous for playing and 13 myself Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X.

GarryP Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 For number 17: Yup. For number 18: It’s a bit on the ‘cryptic’ side and, now that I come to think about it, the phrase isn’t used much these days. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pioneer Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 @Alfred wrote I've never known number 15 to be referred to as anything other than Pete........Correct...........Peter Murray James, OBE.....Correct. Nor me Alfred The running theme is obviously people with a forename of either Peter or Pete which gives away half of the answer. Would you like the answers? Alfred 1 Quote AMD Ryzen 7 5800 X.

PaulEC Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 The one that is annoying me is number 8. I'm sure I should know who he is, I just can't think of his name! 😁 EDIT - Got it now, thanks for the hints!

William Overington Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Well, I looked at the pictures and I could not name any of them. The only one I recognized at first was number 6 - was he the lead and the first on screen each week in a well-known American television series years ago? Upon learning of the theme I think I recognize and know the name of number 15. Now maybe it is because I don't go to the cinema, don't follow sport, and don't watch Eastenders, or maybe some other reason. But there we are, in case you thought it too easy, well, for me it is not, it is impossible, yet at your club there are teams so as this is the Share your work quiz team, me not recognizing them is not a problem. Having learned of the identity of number 2 I remembered this music. William Quote Until December 2022, using a Lenovo laptop running Windows 10 in England.
