    BEEN FEELING BORED LATELY? STRUGGLING WITH SELF-ISOLATION AND SOCIAL DISTANCING? HOW ABOUT A QUIZ???


    WELCOME TO CLARA & MOLLY'S WONDERFUL QUIZ


    giphy.gif


    FOLLOW ALONG AT HOME FOLKS TO HELP STAVE OFF BOREDOM!

    FORMAT and INSTRUCTIONS:
    The game will consist of 12 rounds, 6 rounds of general knowledge and 6 themed rounds.
    Round of questions will be posted by Molly/Clara in this thread each day at around 12:00. We will post 2 rounds together each day, so hopefully the game will run no longer than 6 days.
    Each team should coordinate together to answer the questions, and PM the answers to either Molly or Clara by 21:00 on the same day as the rounds are posted. Answers will be posted at 10.30am each day.
    Each general knowledge round will consist of 10 questions.
    Each question will be worth 1 point.

    RULES:
    You are not permitted to research the answers, that includes Googling, asking friends (apart from your teammates), or checking books. We have to trust you on this, be a good sport.
    If you have a concern that our answer is wrong for any question, please highlight it via PM to Molly/Clara.
    If the game ends with more than 1 team on the same number of points, those teams will enter into a tie breaker. (Details to be provided if and when needed)
    I will only accept your first answers, so double check them before you PM.
    In the event you forget to answer question(s) in your first PM, I will allow you to answer these in a separate PM.
    First rounds will be posted tomorrow at 12 midday. All answers should be submitted by 9pm tomorrow. LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

    ...and I'm assuming just like with Wrestling each team needs to have Intro Music for dancing into the Quiz-zone...
