    Just a note: ecaf who came second would have won had I counted their answer 'six foot answer' the same as 'six feet under'. This may seem like cutting things a little too fine but I felt that one refers to the TV show and the other is the grammatically correct to say "buried....six foot under".

    Sorry ecaf....

    :( (2nd)
    Ah well, when I was reading down through the answers, I thought I was doing really badly!
    So it's a surprise to come 2nd!

    Thanks Ponster, I really like these quizzes!!! :p

    Edit: Just a question - not that it matters to my score, but why didn't you group "Ten Commandments" and "The Ten Commandments"? (I answered the 1st one anyway, but just curious)


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,911 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    lol

    Because I didn't spot it until now :)

    I'll redo the scores when I get back this evening, grouping those 7 answers together and see if you manage to steal the top spot from mathew.

    EDIT: actually seeing as mathew said "Top ten" there's a good chance that I'll end up reversing 1st and 2nd place...


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,074 ✭✭✭rgiller


    5th! Alright, I'm moving up the ladder...

    And what about "fantastic four" and "the fantastic four"??


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,911 Mod ✭✭✭✭Ponster


    Ahhh, now you see what it's like to correct these things :)

    I had changed all the "fantastic 4"s to fantastic four but forgot the 'the'.

    This quiz was a bollox to do :)
