Quiz starts in this thread at 10 am today the 26th day of April in the year of our lord 2024.

At 10:00 tomorrow I will start posting questions.

After each question you have between 30secs and a minute, depending on my ability to post the next question, to reply privately to me with your answer.

Please start your answer with the question number. Eg private reply message me your answer starting with Q1.1, 1.2 etc.

I will then post the next question and so on.

There will be 5 rounds of three questions each.

Afterwards I will go through and tot up the results.

Obviously I trust that you won’t use Google or Encyclopaedia Brittanica and realise that it’s just a bit of fun.

Rickshawed managed 18

TMN a very good 20 for the bronze medal.

Denhamhoop welcome and a commendable 2nd with 26

But with a stunning 28 from 30 is Granny Crumpet.

The most difficult question was the extinction question with only one correct answer.
