Clicky…

4/6 here. Should have done better!

How’d you do?

5/6 for me

5/6

5/6 only missed on ‘Nomocracy’. Never heard of that before.

same as jojoA1

5/6 – didn’t know nomocracy

5/6. Didn’t know what ‘scut’ was (although most of it was educated guessing)

6/6, top marks for me! 🙂
OK so I did Classics at school which probably helped with the Latin/Greek content in that lot. Doesn’t explain why I ended up doing Chemistry though…

never heard the Mauri word before but got the rest correct

5/6

I’ve never seen the word ‘pikau’ before. Every day is a schoolday.

Swotty swotty Crazylegs!!! 😛

4/6- first two wrong!

another 5 out of 6

5/6 too, never heard of Pikau either.

4/6, I’ll live with it.

I was annoyed that I didn’t get ‘Nomocracy’ as I have often seen ‘Nomos Chania’ or ‘Nomos …’ in Greece and knew that they refer to administrative areas!

Last one stumped me though.

And ‘pikau’ was a quess – just sounded a bit New Zealand-esque.

Also 5/6, also got nomocracy wrong. Shame it wasn’t longer – much better than all those stupid quizzes on facebook everyone is doing at the moment.

6/6 for me!

6/6 Have to omit the Mauri one was a guess between NZ & India

5/6. Got the last one wrong (spine).

6/6 Have to omit the Mauri one was a guess between NZ & India

Oh, the irony 😉

5/6 too, never heard of Pikau either

6/6 Have to

[list]omit [/list]

the Mauri one was a guess between NZ & India

?

5/6. Should have been 6 but I started to doubt myself on oscillating. Also never heard of Pikau but from the spelling it was obvious.

6/6 Have to

omit
the Mauri one was a guess between NZ & India

?

admit

4 out of 6.. with a bit of luck.

So we’re all agreed that we all know far too much crap then?

It worries me that stuff like that takes space in my brain that could be used by more useful information. I don’t need to know what country a pikau is from or what it is. But I do now. And a useful piece of knowledge has dropped out of the other side of my brain, like how much charge I’ve got left on my lights, or where I put my keys this morning.

(5/6, stupidly guessed the 1st question)

Cleaned it!

and with guessing like that I’m off to put the pay cheque on a horse

3/6 – sorry only went to a comprehensive school

6/6 ! But as with Crazy-Legs I attended a Grammar School that tought Latin & the classics.

And I also think that in this context Richie_B is perfectly fine with his use of omit as what he is saying is that he wants to omit that result from his score?

2/6 what a thicko!

5/6, with a few educated guesses. Had no idea about ‘pikau’ though.

If you liked that then play http://www.freerice.com/ and help feed starving folk with every question you get right.

Or alternatively starve them if you get the answers wrong.

Trivia quiz guilt.

(I think that there is something fundamentally wrong with the freerice quiz.)

‘5-6: Gift of the gab’

First one wrong.
