Try and play DM's own Trivia Quiz every day! Ten questions every day, differing from easy to hard. But besides giving the right answer, there's a clock ticking as well! Whoever gets the most right answers and in the fastest time, wins! You can play every day of the week, but only once a day. There's a weekly competition as well.

Give it a try! You have to subscribe, but it's free. You can find DM's Daily Quiz here: DM'S DAILY QUIZ!

Good idea. And now the official DM's quiz, as mine has now been cancelled due to a stunning lack of interest!

i thought we had till sunday to fill in our forms

Technically, you do, but there's really not enough people taking part to warrant putting it together. If by some small miracle 8 or 9 more people send in answers by Sunday, then I'll consider doing another round, but otherwise I'm not very inspired.

It seems that the questions are too difficult for some people. I thought the questions would inspire some of our younger members to do some research, and learn something about The Beatles, but it hasn't worked out that way. And once again, there are many regular members who don't take part in these things. I'll certainly think twice before doing something like that again.

Alright. I'll be sending in some answers before Sunday. They were pretty hard I must admit. The Daily Quiz is an automatic generated quiz which runs by itself...

It's fun, and probably a better idea than mine. My phone rang in the middle of it though!

My brain gets so taxed by everything that by the time I check alls looking good round here...i gotta go again. Will try and make more effort but I have never been good at the regular participation involved and don't like the thought of people being let down or dissappointed. Hence I don't normally participate.

Man, this is tough. If your phone rings, it's all over, because timing is so critical.

Wow, the Swine's a blur!

Blimey, I didn't even understand the Simpsons question!!

That was close Geoff!  :)

Quoted from Bobber

That was close Geoff!  :)

;D

I was trying to click with a bagel stuffed in my face and nearly lost the works answering the "Ob La Di Ob La Da" question. Had no clue about Ed Sullivan, either. But where was The Simpsons question? Are we all getting the same quiz or did I just blow right past it without even noticing?

We will all get the same questions within a week or so I believe, but there's very small differences (in the order of the questions as well) to prevent cheating! I must say that I don't believe there's cheaters in here, so I will reset things to see that we're getting the same questions every day.

Oh, that's it: I was just wondering why I didn't spot The Simpsons question; but I checked my cache and I didn't get one. I doubt we've got any cheaters here, either.

...but I do know there's a Simpsons question lurking in the database somewhere.(teeth1) Bet it's that barbershop quartet episode (B-Sharps or something? Saw it years ago but don't remember much about it now, of course).

Great Quiz!!!

But I don't understand how award points are counted? Yesterday I got 6 points, but today, with more right answers, only one point :(

Quoted from Dmitry

I got one wrong because I was trying to beat you on time. Apparently there are not 10,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire!!

That was about the only one I got right! I didn't know about Generation X (never heard of) and blacked out on a few others. Oh, and my little girl kept crying for my attention while I was making the quiz.  :P

That's the one I blew too; the other day it was the "How many Beatles were there?" question. Have to turn in my gold star, I guess!  ;D

I can't wait for 'Who sang the ahs...' ! ;D

I got 10 out of 10 today. Woohoo!

I've had that one before. Got it right this time.

I love Beatle Trivia and have had over a years experience of running a Beatle trivia thread so you'de think I shall do well haha, i managed to get 7/10 today, my first time doing it, brilliant idea, not worth closing for sure!
I shall try and win haha

I was thinking of throwing in a random Sixties round on a certain day, Sunday for instance. Or shall I keep it all pure Beatles?

60's round sounds cool, although (personally) i know little more then beatles and bob dylan, but i'm sure plenty of people have a wider range of knowlege of 60's music! i do to, just not a lot! lol

I think it's not just 60's music, but 60's in general.

Quoted from Bobber

I think it's not just 60's music, but 60's in general.

Sounds good to me. Give me more of a chance!

Today I got that Simpsons question again. And I got it wrong a second time!

Quoted from Bobber

I was thinking of throwing in a random Sixties round on a certain day, Sunday for instance. Or shall I keep it all pure Beatles?

Sure. Maybe it'll get rid of those which-1970's-East-German-Beatles-cover-band-had-three-of-the-same-letters-as-Paul-McCartney's-name type of questions.  ;D

You mean you got that wrong?

Quoted from BlueMeanie

You mean you got that wrong?

All I could think of was four dour looking guys with bad 1964 Beatle haircuts standing on a stage in a grungy East German bar with no electricity singing (off key) "All You Need Is Love and ze Communist Manifesto. You vill obey! You vill obey!!!  ;D

Damn!!! I got the "How many Beatles were there?" question wrong again. I keep forgetting Yoko doesn't count.  ;D

It's ashame, i got 9/10 today, but I am on a new laptop and the slightest movement and it clicks and moves back a page, so i had to be careful, took me 110 seconds for that fact ;) I wasn't just slow, that can't be it! ;)

Easiest one I've had today. Got three wrong trying to beat douglaslee's time!! :'(

First time i played the quiz and i've only 5 correct answers.....

Keep trying Digna and remember it's just for fun. Lissy is doing extremely well!

10/10 today! lovely jobly!

Quoted from McLennon

10/10 today! lovely jobly!

I'm glad it took you 8 seconds too long.  :)  But I fear the moment Lissy comes in...

Yes, it's true (that it's only for fun). I gammble (is this the right word???) a lot  :). Somethimes I don't know what the english word mean, but if i'm going to look for it, it will cost me so many seconds  :P .
But it was a little better than yesterday  :) (You can all see that but anyway)

Quoted from Bobber

I'm glad it took you 8 seconds too long.  :)  But I fear the moment Lissy comes in...

I blame it on my sensitive touch pad! ;) otherwise i'd have been say 9 seconds quicker! ;)

It took me 88 seconds again! just i failed badly this time! lol

I couldn't even understand what they were asking me half the time today! What the hell does this mean?

5. "This is an amazing find here, sir. Looks like a book. It's in terribly deteriorated shape, but there are some facts we've managed to gather." What is the one fact that does NOT fit into the Beatle book discovery?

I had to think about that a while, but the find has to be the book the "paperback writer" wrote.

Sometimes it helps to read the title of the question.

3 seconds bobber!! you see if i don't get you back for that one!!  :P

I was thrown off today by the last question, used a word which confused me haha, how I didn't think of Vera, Chuck and Dave!!

Paul, yesterday you probably played while the site was being backed up. That's daily between 11.00 and 11.20 for you. Better not play during those times!

why do I suck at these quizzes?
I think I got a good score MAYBE once or twice.

Are you on speed, Paul?

Quoted from Bobber

Are you on speed, Paul?

;D I've been a bit lucky lately!  I guessed 4 of the answers today and got them all right. I'm sure it took more than 30 seconds though.

when I guess I'm wrong... :-/

I knew it was Paul!!!(not BM)
GOODNESS

Todays was easy!! I didn't have to guess a any :D I just can't answer quick enough lol

I timed it today. It took 69 seconds, but it says 58! So I should be second, and King Bobber should be top. I won't lose sleep though! ;D

A lot of the questions are being repeated, which is what's making it easier.

Yeah well, I'll come and visit you in your dreams. You obviously got a computer with a slow ticking internal clock or something.

Quoted from Bobber

Yeah well, I'll come and visit you in your dreams. You obviously got a computer with a slow ticking internal clock or something.

The timing on the quiz site is very dodgy. That 30 seconds I did yesterday is practically impossible if you're going to read the questions, or even skim through them. I've been lucky with a few of my answers too. Crash and burn tomorrow!

wow I thought this was just for fun. you all are ready to cut throat over it!lol ;D

HAHA BlueMeanie.

I will ban yesterday's winner Rocky for cheating. And douglasleee as well. Please play fair and don't play twice under another name. It's supposed to be fun.

Who the hell are 'Rocky', and  "baford08'? It's nice to have more players, but it would be nicer if they were from either of the two forums.

Rocky appeared to be (or linked to) douglasleee. baford is unknown to me, but seemed to play fair at least.

Quoted from Bobber

Rocky appeared to be (or linked to) douglasleee.

How can you tell?

Same IP addresses. Plus a bit too much coincidence for a new player to grab the first price in a very fast time.

it's not a win unless it's honest.

"All Lennon fans know what day John was born"

that's not true.

I just bought a Peaceful Cat  ;D

How I somehow got the lyrics of Octopus's garden and Yellow Submarine wrong!!

I really suck this month! Everything I take a guess at is falling the wrong way and I mix up the simplest of things. I must admit there's some lousy questions as well, or is that just me?  :)

So according to the quiz, The Beatles 'officially' disbanded in 1971. I've been wrong all my life then!

Yeah, that was ridiculous! I thought John officially signed the papers somewhere in the mid seventies. I thought '74 (see May Pang's book), but that was not in the list of answers. I subsequently filled in 75, but that was wrong. I knew that!

I thought '74 or '75 was when they were legally 'dissolved'. The alternative would have been 1970, as that's when McCartney released his statement. But that wasn't there!

Today's question were pathetic!

I always suck at this anyways, so it doesn't matter how poor they are I always get them wrong! :'(
but I will try

Today was my worst Daily Trivia Game, I had only 3 correct :o

I got 6 :(

That's the double! Be happy, you won't be last. I hope tomorrow will be better

A 10 at last. I've been waiting for decades! Nice to see Sandra joined in as well!  ;D

I feel that I am one or the worst players!

You are not! Tuesday I had only three correct! I always do decades about reading the question....

I think the worst I get was only 6 right.

That isn't bad! I'm quite happy if I've 6 correct and even more if I really knew them.

you will.


most of mine are good guessing anyways :P

It's about time I need to win one days trivia, I just can't manage it! darn it!

Digna and PaulieBear, you can have your own competition: see who's best at the end of the month! I was happy to win two days in a row, but I noticed Paul's score for today is 10 in 41 seconds. That's going to be tough to beat.  :-/

They're really easy today. I actually thought I'd done it quicker than 41 seconds!! There's a couple of semi-tough questions that have both come up before.

I'll have a cup of coffee first to make me up.

The only thing that gets me is the repeating questions

I know. There's not much I can do about that. I have set up a mixed bag of questions and I tried to avoid double subjects, but that's not always possible.

Quoted from BlueMeanie

They're really easy today. I actually thought I'd done it quicker than 41 seconds!! There's a couple of semi-tough questions that have both come up before.

mess, it took me 51 seconds. I had to think about Ringo's red coat and had to reread the FM question.

Actually, the thing that really annoys me is when they have the wrong answer!!

I wouldn't even know because most times I'm just plain wrong!
:P

I went and rushed the last question didn't I!

SO CLOSE
9/10

well done Paulismine!!

I didn't like today's, It had an american album question which is annoying, i'd have known it had it been the normal british release ;)

That's cruel!

Quoted from Bobber

That's cruel!

Sorry mate! I guessed two of them. I didn't think that Alf was particularly John's chauffer?

I did not understand question 9 today!! that was random!

thanks bluemeanie for the hint, haha.

Quoted from blackmath

thanks bluemeanie for the hint, haha.

You still didn't make it.  ;)

Piece of p*ss today. Go for it Cor!!

Damn, too slow.

Quoted from Bobber

Damn, too slow.

Tip of the day: I got a pen pad a couple of weeks ago. Helps you navigate a page and select the answer much quicker than any mouse I've ever used.

Call to everybody: PLEASE PLAY FAIR! I have banned yesterday's winner (and today's runner up) Winston, who has played today under another name (peters78039) as well. This is supposed to be fun, a little test for yourself with a slight competitive element. Nothing more, nothing less. So, please play fair or don't play at all. Thanks.

typical, always got people spoiling it!!

bluemeanie, what do u mean of the pen and pad approach? I'm intrigued although confused as to how it would help think of the answeres quicker?

I'll play in a bit and get 10/10 in 50 seconds! you see if I don't! lol

one of the questions was so damn obvious that it was unobvious and I didn't understand it! grr

I know. I didn't give myself time to think about it, so I just plumped for the obvious answer. Badly worded though.

Yeah, that took me time as well. Please I lost the internet connection when I was submitting my answers. Just when I was getting on Paul's tail!

I keep humiliating myself with these quizzes. And I can't believe the things I'm getting wrong!! I'm a poor test taker for sure.  :B

FINALLY #2!
10/10 :P

Quoted from PaulieBear

FINALLY #2!
10/10 :P

Well done expert!!! :)

Quoted from BlueMeanie

I know. I didn't give myself time to think about it, so I just plumped for the obvious answer. Badly worded though.

exactly, the obvious answer for me was the "which beatle titles have two of the beatles names in them?" or something along that note, I thought it meant which songs mention the Beatles names in the lyrics, otherwise it would have been bloody obvious! I keep failing to get my 10/10!

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Well done expert!!! :)

far from it. this was an easy day

Quoted from PaulieBear

far from it. this was an easy day

True, but take the compliments when you can get them! ;D

(blush2)
I hang my head in shame today...
Bad Beatles fan, bad Beatles fan, must try harder.

I was hoping to catch up on Paul after I got 6 points more than him yesterday, but I failed today.  :(

The double tracking one gets me every time.

I always forget about Elvis.

Quoted from Bobber

I always forget about Elvis.

Just remember him today then. ;)

Congratulations Paul, a well deserved win this month. I messed it up at the beginning of the month and after that you had built up a comfortable lead.

difficult questons today!!

I've decided I'm gunna win next month!! lol

Quoted from Bobber

Congratulations Paul, a well deserved win this month. I messed it up at the beginning of the month and after that you had built up a comfortable lead.

Where can you see the tournament list (or how you want to call it??)

Who won the month? They take down the bloody list as soon as it's over!

Check the hall of fame.

Just checked myself. Sorry to have beaten you on the last day, Paul.  :)

Quoted from PaulieBear

so Bobber when are we getting another nail-biting round of the song seconds game?

Don't know. The overall response was quite low to be honest. I'll think it over. I might even go for a Song Survivor Game of Paul's albums!

oh how sad  :'(

Man, this game is addictive!!

What is the game and how do you play?

You click on the link on the first page of this topic. You'll come on a site. You can make an acount an answer the 10 questions of today  :)

The first time I have 10/10!!! That makes my day!!!  :)

I should know by now, go for gut instinct, it's usually right! Except if it's an American answer, in which case I'm just always wrong!

I SUCK AT THIS GAME :B

(dance) WOW! 10! Think I'd better go and lie down in a darkened room for a while...

THIS BLASTED GAME (angry2)(angry6)

Very tough game. Even if I answer most or all questions correct I didn't get in time  :) Some guys are very quick!

Quoted from Dmitry

Very tough game. Even if I answer most or all questions correct I didn't get in time  :) Some guys are very quick!

They really are! I somehow managed 10/10 today but took me over 100 seconds! I can't be quick, always gotta think about it!

I scrolled and saw none wrong then BAM 2  :'(

I'll be off for a holiday for a couple of weeks. Soooo, the title is up for the grabs!  ;D  I must say I'm very happy to be the cumulative number one at the moment of leaving. Good luck and enjoy yourselves!

Bobber's gone

LET'S PARTY(dance)(laugh4)(smoking3)

I'll not really be around at all next week for 6 days and wasn;t around last week for 5! so that leaves me out aswell, not being much of a challenge anyway, but good luck to the rest!!

I just got here, I don't see any rush to leave :)
hah

I saw, I played.. I saw... I left!  :P

Good luck to the quizzers!

10 for 10....in 35 seconds...on my birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

7 BOO

I thought it was just going to be songs!

Happy Birthday Revolver42 !!!!  :)

a day late, but Happy Birthday Revolver42! hope you had a fab birthday!  ;)

Thanks for the b-day wishes, everyone.  I had a great b-day!

Happy Belated Birthday  :) :)

I would have had 10 but it said I didn't click 2 answers!

and how in the world did it take me that long...

(confused)Ringo? coma? must research....

Eric Clapton played lead guitar on this song. He and Lennon became such good friends that in 1969 when lead guitarist George Harrison threatened to quit, Lennon was ready to have Clapton replace him.

is this true? i thought george and eric were friends.

I'm off to go fail at yet another quiz. I suck at trivia! I'm betting I'll get a 7/10 today. Embarrassing!

Well played B.M.  ::)

I found out today that Mouley1 has been cheating for a while. He/she also signed in as JPGRM, played as such and after finding out the right answers, played again as Mouley1. Please people. This is the last time I will be banning someone. I will be closing the quiz if it happens again and somebody else can take the credits. I have set up this quiz because it's supposed to be fun, not a rat race. There is nothing to win or lose. Don't ruin it. Thank you.

Is the 9th answer corect?????????

"What was the first song that had Ringo's writing credit alone?"

I'm disappointed about that one.I thought I had 10 correct (and I still think I have but).

A well known defect in the quiz...

Quoted from Bobber

A well known defect in the quiz...

Oh,I did not know it was so well known.And I guess noone can do anything :(

It has been reported to funtrivia (the creators of the questions) a couple of times before, but they obviously move very slowly (or not at all). I am very sorry, but there's nothing I can do at the moment, except for giving you symbolic credits.

Hahahah, dont worry.I know the answer (I think everybody there does) but the thing was that I expected 10 correct answer and when I saw that one I was soooo surprise!!!I was only alerting the rest of the contestants but thnak you anyway  for explaining me!

It tells me I have already played today? I do play a Beatles quiz on another site that appears to be from that particular website so i'm guessing it might be the same one, but yet my name was not listed on the DM board. Maybe that site only allows you to play once a day regardless of the quiz. Oh well, no biggie.

Try logging out and in again.

let's see where I come up today in the ranks...bottom-middle or bottom of the list. WHO KNOWS

I'm pretty horrible at these, I mix up the lyrics now =/

Sitar on Girl? At the end maybe?

I guessed it, since it was the only instrument on the list that I'd class as 'unusual'.

SO CLOSE 9/10

A late congratulations Pauliebear.  :)

Nice match between Gloi and Paul last month! Well played both of you and congrats to Paul. This month's competition has started today, so new chances for all of us!

Thanks to Matt, who's late win in yesterday's quiz gave me the extra point I needed. Well played everyone. This makes up for losing by one point to Cor a couple of months ago!

Back from holiday, and what's the first thing on my agenda? washing the clothes, getting kids stuff ready for first day of school tomorrow, checking emails? NO!! I had to get back to THE QUIZ!! :K)

I shall quit the quiz at the end of the month. It's becoming too easy with all the repeated questions. Time to give someone else a chance!

Oooh! I was hoping to make it more difficult for you next month.

Quoted from Bobber

Oooh! I was hoping to make it more difficult for you next month.

Well, I could always be persuaded!

bah, if only I learnt to play all four of the songs from the chord progression question! bit of a tough one!

I'm off to uni tomorrow, although i'll probably still manage to play, i may be gone for periods of time, who knows! hope to still play anyway :D

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Go for it!

And once again!  ;D

finally a ten!

Quoted from Bobber

And once again!  ;D

A fu*king second

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Well, I could always be persuaded!

Try to tempt Gloi in another round. Pretty close last month!

It's a shame that some of the more knowledgeable people don't play regularly enough. You and I will win this every month because we play every day. There are several others who could do the same and make the competition tighter. I wondered if a few people were not playing so much because it was impossible for them to win? One of the reasons I thought I might stand down.

Point by point. I wish the month was much longer. lol

It's a fun quiz but you have to get into the habit of playing every day, especially as, apparently, some questions come up a second time.

The points system seems complicated and a bit strange. Is it explained on the site somewhere?

I hope the quiz continues through the winter since I imagine that, like me, that's when people are more often on their computer.

Given time Bobber and Blue Meanie may well be challenged in their supremacy!

Lot's of questions have been asked several times, and some have the wrong answer. So you have to remember the wrong answer! The questions about chord progressions kill me every time!

Everybody started with a thousand points. Every wrong answer will cost you a hundred points. Plus every second you use is a point down. So, two wrongs answers and 51 seconds will make 749 points.

I guess you mean this: correct answers - the time you used.


Although I can never reach the top list, I almost play every day. I always see that I really don't know enough about them. I've only had twice 10/10 and never won, but never mind.

Quoted from Bobber

Everybody started with a thousand points. Every wrong answer will cost you a hundred points. Plus every second you use is a point down. So, two wrongs answers and 51 seconds will make 749 points.

OK. That's for the score but I'm more intrigued by the points awarded.
For example at the moment Afox took only 4 seconds more than Bobber to get the ten correct answers and he's 2points down on him. But Sewi who took a massive 92 seconds more than me to get the ten is only one point down on me.

That's the running order. Depending on the number of players, number 1 gets (for instance) 12 points, number 2 10 etcetera.

Quoted from Bobber

That's the running order. Depending on the number of players, number 1 gets (for instance) 12 points, number 2 10 etcetera.

Here are yesterday's points. How come Afox doesn't get 26 points?
How come the last seven players all get 4 points?
And how come (most important of all!) I get 18 and not 22?

My theory:
#1 and the runners up get a sort of bonus. From there, points are dropping on a regular base. That's also the reason why you got awarded with 18 points and not 22. The top ten players get the most points. As soon as you dropped to #11, your points are going down dramatically and the same thing happens when you're under #20. It's a complex thing, isn't it?  ;D  Most important thing of all is the fun you should put out of it, a little test for yourself. Don't take it too serious.

In my opinion the more you understand the rules the more interesting a game is.
As you've noticed it's extremely important to be in the top ten.So if you're the last person to play you should look at the scores and work out what tactics to use to get there (speed vs correct answers maybe).
I really feel sorry for Yavanna yesterday who got 5 points at number eleven, just one point more than the player who came last at 27!
What you said about the difference between 20 and 21 is not at all substantiated from yesterday's scores.
As for taking it seriously, I'm reminded of what Sir Alex Ferguson once said about football when asked if it was a matter of life and death. His answer? No, of course not, it's much more serious than that! ;)

That was Bill Shankly, a very long time ago.

But you don't know what questions you're gonna get. Plus if you have the same score as somebody who played earlier, you will be one place lower.

Thanks for rectifying. Wrong man, same feeling.

Quoted from Bobber

Whoops, I was replying about Shankly.

So, if I understand correctly, it's better not to play too late or you can be automatically demoted.

In my opinion, whoever understands the scoring system completely should be instantly awarded the monthly prize!

Well, it depends on what tactics you choose! Playing late can have advantages.

Ask funtrivia about the scoring system. I'm giving up.  ;D

Just 15 points to go...  ;D

Fought back to just 8 points now, but with a finish tomorrow I suspect it's too late...

If Blue Meanie drops out of today's 'top ten' then you may well have a chance Bobber!

That if just became when.

Deciding day tomorrow with all to play for concerning the boys at the top.

I won't be able to sleep!

Me neither!

Good luck Paul.

I need a good win today. Wanna go first? ;)

Sure. Before lunch.  8)

Quoted from Bobber

Good luck Paul.

Congratulations King Bobber!

Thanks Paul. You were brilliant today as well  ;D , a pity I had to play first. I guessed the question about George's song, but it was alright. You didn't lose the match today of course, but at one point I remember I was about 43 points behind. What went wrong?

Good luck everybody! A new month, a new round. I'll be at least six days off this month...

I think lethargy got the better of me at one point. It would be nice to have some questions that we haven't had before. There's meant to be around 4500 Beatles questions on there. Not sure whether to carry on or let a few of the other regulars shine.

I'm playing and hope that Gloi for instance will play as well. I won't be there all month tho, so you might have a chance.  ;D

Yay, finally joined the fun!

From yesterday's quiz. Just what does this mean?

8. This song is a re-writing of the song "It Won't Be Long". Name the song.

The correct answer was Any Time At All.

Me yesterday: "^Neither I! I can 't see the connection between those 2 songs"

That was the one I got wrong yesterday.I thought the answer could be When I Get Home but...

I guessed that as wel, but I really have no idea what the connection between one of these must be. I thought it was one of the many things I don't know about the bealtes (songs), but If even you don't know  :)

This quiz is a mess from time to time:we all know that there is at least one wrong answer to one question about Ringo's credits and there are some other weird -to say the least- answers too.It is expected from all of us to learn and remember wrong answers to win.Bah!

I'm open for any alternative.

Quoted from Bobber

I'm open for any alternative.

It is not your fault as far as I know so do not worry.It is that a few of us are quite "surprised" reading the supposed right answers to some questions and so some of the fun could be lost,but I will continue playing as usual I think,at least for some time.I insist:do not worry about anything.

Quoted from BlueMeanie

From yesterday's quiz. Just what does this mean?

8. This song is a re-writing of the song "It Won't Be Long". Name the song.

The correct answer was Any Time At All.

"John admitted Any Time At All was a rewriting of his earlier song It Won't Be Long, using the same chord progressions from C to A minor and back and, when it came to recording, employing the same bawling vocal style."

Steve Turner A Hard Day's Write.

My computer hates me! I didn't take 9,000+ seconds to do todays quiz! It's like... what? I only took a good minute-ish. Oh grr.

Definitely a wrong answer in today's quiz. The trouble is that none of the answers are right!
It doesn't worry me though. In fact it's quite amusing.
I prefer that to no quiz at all!

The art is to remember which ones have the wrong answer. Unfortunately, I didn't today!

I think I know which one you mean, and I double-double bluffed by going for the answer I did! Got 10 by skin of teeth today! small things like this make me smile mysteriously for the rest of the day. no-one else would understand the pleasure!

OK. We'll check tomorrow to see if we're talking about the same question!

Well the question was the one about Eight Days A Week.

The 'right' answer was 'John's chauffeur'...
but in the book Many Years From Now, Paul specifically points out that the title was inspired from a chauffeur he'd never seen before who was driving him out to John's house, so it couldn't possibly have been Alf Bicknell, John's chauffeur, who he knew very well.

Was this the question you were thinking of?

10/10, this is my mysteriously smile moment  :), at this moment top of the list (it has never happened to me :) ).

Yes, I was talking about the chauffeur question! I never want to say too much, cos it could spoil someone's enjoyment of the quiz. I fluffed up one question today, and will have to go and bury my nose in a book! If only my teachers at school had inspired me to learn random facts like this, I'd be so well qualified today!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Quoted from cubanheel

I think it's interesting to talk about the answers once the scores have been added up for the day.
I don't think there are that many wrong answers in fact just the occasional one.

There are only a few wrong answers that I've come across. The problem is usually in the way that the question has been asked. Some of them are extremely misleading. And some are almost impossible to interpret. But the main problem I find is people not making it clear whether they're talking about US or UK releases.

Quoted from BlueMeanie

Some of them are extremely misleading. And some are almost impossible to interpret.

Yeah. The question about I Me Mine being the last recording under the Beatles name was explained in an extremely convoluted way even if, in the end, it was in fact the right answer.

Quoted from Bobber

Try and play DM's own Trivia Quiz every day! Ten questions every day, differing from easy to hard. But besides giving the right answer, there's a clock ticking as well! Whoever gets the most right answers and in the fastest time, wins! You can play every day of the week, but only once a day. There's a weekly competition as well.

What's the weekly competition?

I like the new look! Thanks for re-vamp, it brightened up my day.
I SOOOOO don't get the answer to the last one, will wait till tomorrow to ask again. I got other answers wrong though, so did really badly today! I still love playing it.

Thanks. I can change it once in a while to refresh looks.

In fact, the question is quite clear. Think into the 90's.

Well, grrr, I mean ... that's just not cricket, old sport.(angry8)

Are you talking about All Things Must Pass? Yeah, it was a bit of a sneaky question.

Well, I'll be away for the next week so today will probably be my last shot for this month.

Good look to everyone chasing after Bobber and Blue Meanie!

Damn. You and Bobber away, just when it was looking like being a fairly tight race between three or four of us.

The All Things Must Pass one is a bit sneaky, but we have had it a couple of times before.

I'll be back for most of November, when the real battle will commence... now that I'm getting used to the questions!

It's down to the last day again Paul. Good luck. Shall I go first?

Congrats Paul. Damn.

Thank you. I had a bad day today. But I'll be back!

There appears to be an error related to funtrivia. Nothing better than wait and hope.

It is fixed. You can play for Monday now.

The problem only occured on Monday, when the statistics were reset too late. It hasn't done too much damage to our quiz I think.

Alright, thanks  ::)  

Just so y'all know...it wouldn't let me use 'Miss Lennon' for my name, so I'm George.

Not that I'm jealous or anything, but who is this IamtheWalrus?

10/10          22
10/10          29
7/10                 304
8/10                 287
10/10            673

A little bit suspicious me thinks.

I'll check. 22 seconds just can't be done.

And in 22 seconds he avoided the tricky Hard Day's Night question which gave a lot of scores of 9 I think (me included).

21 seconds yesterday! This is silly.

I deleted both walrus and capt_johnt.

I am back again! :-P

Wow!
