Pete with a signature like yours --after that bobo you might just need it. Marj

Which bobo is that Marj

I got that info off a website

OK Pete but you posted it I'll duff them up for you then shall I. Marj

Please explain

So did I add one that wasn't there

If so, which one & doesn't the American flag have 52 stars

The flag of the United States of America consists of 13 equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternating with rows of five stars. The creator of the U.S. Flag is popularly considered to be Betsy Ross. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 U.S. states and the 13 stripes represent the original Thirteen Colonies that rebelled against the British crown and became the first states in the Union.[1] Nicknames for the flag include the Stars and Stripes, Old Glory,[2] and the Star-Spangled Banner

It was me.

I'll take it on the chin like a man.

I made up the quiz.

Pete only posted and checked what I sent him.

If anybody has to get the "flak", it should be me.

I'll do 100 lines.


I must check my answers first

JGG ( hanging head in disgrace )

Well now that I understand what this thread is about, I've checked out this & from what I can gather, Question 78 is completely wrong

The questions should have read:
Question: 50 S of U S
Answer: 50 States of United States

I apologise for this oversite & to those who didn't reply due to not being able to get his answer

But as all member had a full week to hand in their replies or ask any questions or query something they weren't sure of, I can't modify the outcome

And it is meant to be a bit of fun.

I knew what you were on about Marj. Pete was just being blonde. He must have caught it from that bird he lives with.

Verity.

I've just been informed that the Q&A's for last weeks quiz were obtained from the following link:

http://www.hammerout.co.uk/html/quiz-2005.htm

So we've decided to pass all blame onto these people for their quiz

It was great fun anyway and got our householdthinking

Well I'm glad my query set up a little ripple and equally pleased to know I'm not going doolally

Pat

Hmmmm!

Question 78.

52 States of North America was the first answer I came up with, but after researching it I found that there are actually 50 states....?

I put that answer initially because I couldn't come up with anything else that 'fitted'!

I was surprised when I'd got 100/100, and questions 16 and 62 could have been transposed...!

Feel a bit of a fraud now

Pam, don't you worry as no one came back to query the question before the end of the quiz & everyone who got 100 correct also put the same answer

So you are a WINNER

OK then!

Pam
