Not that I thought I could compete with our local Beatle genii (?) based on memory alone, but at least I could delude myself that I had a fighting chance. However, the thought of having to do homework (scour the web, etc.) to get the answers just gives me the Willies.


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

Quote from: 483I have to say that this will be an ex-quiz next week without a little more interest.
I wonder how many people check the forums they belong to only while they're at work, like I do. Part of the participation problem might be that the answers are posted on Sunday, and time's up on the same Sunday.

That was the reason I wasn't able to try answering the questions; I don't even have online access at home, since I get it for free at work. (Granted, the firewall will limit me to answering only the text questions.)

If it were allowed to sit for a few days, a lot more people might get involved. This is only a good guess, though.

(Unless we have an entire week, and the instructions aren't clear/were misread? That possibility just occurred to me.)

Also, as few people probably check the Games Forum, you might want to make sure that a reminder's always posted in the Beatles Forum.

Just some suggestions. I could be alone in not bothering with the Internet (TM) unless I'm killing time at work, but maybe not.

Still allows exactly the same amount of week time, and weekend time to do it. Wouldn't make any difference if I started it on a tuesday.

Reminders are ocassionaly posted on both The Beatles forum, and The Games forum. I had to push a lot with the Song Survivor Game, but I thought more people would be interested in a quiz. I'd like at least double figures to continue. What irks me most with these things is that some people posting on things like 'Song Facts Game', and 'Name Game', don't bother to take part in something a bit more informative and worthwhile.

Beatles Mastermind 2 will start Sunday 16 March at 12 noon GMT.

As their have so far only been 8 entrants for the first round I am going to leave it open for another week. You now have until Sunday 23 March at 12 noon GMT to PM the answers to Round 1. Round 2 however, will only last for one week, and so will also close next Sunday.

You get 5 bonus points if you answer all the questions correctly.

Clearly my bribe money was not high enough. *wrestles DaveRam and Kevin for the wooden spoon in a truly desperate move*

"What irks me most with these things is that some people posting on things like 'Song Facts Game', and 'Name Game', don't bother to take part in something a bit more informative and worthwhile."

They're just fun things to do. Yes they can be a little irritating after a while when you get to many of the same basic thing but those kind of games are quick and don't take alot of time. I "play" them sometimes when I'm bored or no one is replying.
I have nothing against what you're saying or trying to pick a fight but they're just fun in times when there's nothing else to do. But I do appreciate you starting these quizes because they do  require some kind of brain function rather than your opinion.

oh i see. How else do you get an odd number of points then. I thought it was 2,4,6 & 10 points
