A Quiz

Thought it was about time I produced a new post, (i) because I really ought to, and (ii) because It gets a tad borin’ copy-pasting old posts and reformatting them. Due to lack of time, though, I haven’t actually written anything.

Hmm…

Time for a quiz, then! Having been a member of a quiz group—hosting live quizzes in a chat-room—for years, I have quite a few kicking about. Unlike live quizzes, where speed is of the essence, and participants haven’t got time (theoretically at least) to google, a static quiz is open to such, however. That narrows down a tad, the types of questions I can use (in order that folks use brains, not search engines), but I’ve found twenty cryptics on the subject of titles. That should be good enough to fox Google. 🙂

Just jot your answers down and let me have them by email or via the contact form on my ‘About‘ page. I’ll send you a reply with your score and the correct answers to any you pass or get wrong and, if I get enough responses, I’ll set up a scores-table. Please, don’t put your answers in the comments for others to see! I’ll delete or edit any (on this one subject only—this isn’t a habit!) comments which contain clues or answers.

Anyway, here’s the quiz. The subject is ‘Titles’, remember.
