Try to think of the most popular answer.

If you need to comment or clarify a question then do it in thread please. And if you could reply once you've sent a PM it'd keep the thread alive Thanks!

Write your answers like this...

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer

Do not repeat the questions, no full-stops at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. Thanks.

The game will end when we have 40 entrants or after 7 days, whichever comes first.

Please, no full-stops after the answers and put a space in between the 1. and the answer ok?

1. Name an English dialect spoken somewhere in the British Isles.
2. Name a musical genre indigenous to the United States.
3. Which continent is most prone to natural disasters?
4. Name a country occupied by Germany during World War II.
5. What is the most popular sport in Australia?

I don't seem to have a PM for you for quiz #17 ?

> sorry didn't read full thread and just entered. Would have got a few top answers as well!

I'm going to ask the mods to remove the questions when the quiz is over rather than just editing the title.
